Acid Jazz

Acid Jazz is a vibrant fusion genre that emerged in the late 1980s, blending the improvisational spirit of jazz with the rhythmic grooves of funk, soul, and hip-hop. It is characterized by its use of electronic elements, looping samples, and a mix of live instruments, creating a danceable and eclectic soundscape. Pioneered by artists like Jamiroquai and The Brand New Heavies, Acid Jazz captures a retro-futuristic vibe, channeling the energy of 1960s jazz clubs with a modern twist.
