Acid Jazz

Acid jazz is a music genre that blends elements of jazz, funk, soul, and disco, emerging in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It features grooves, improvisation, and a danceable rhythm, often incorporating electronic sounds and sampling. The style is characterized by its smooth, soulful melodies and jazz-inflected instrumentation, aiming to create a relaxed yet energetic atmosphere. Acid jazz became popular in clubs and embraced a fusion of traditional jazz instrumentation with modern production techniques, appealing to those seeking sophisticated, groove-oriented music suitable for both listening and dancing.
