Acid jazz ,goes also under the names groove jazz or as it is called lately club jazz, its a musical style that uses jazz influences together with elements from soul music, funk, disco and also english dance music from the nineties, both modal harmony and repetitive beats. It started and was growing over the 1980s and 1990s and could be seen as taking the boundary crossing of jazz/rock/fusion onto another ground.
One of the goals of this genre is to make jazz to where it was born, in the dance places. That is why it has soulful, melodic, groovy, catchy, smooth inclinations and sound.
The early origins of the genre relate to a 1970s funk revival movement initiated in the discos of England in the mid-1980s. This revival movement was called Northern Soul. In this movement, DJs competed against each other to find the rarest grooves--mainly from forgotten 70s soul and funk.
There are various legends running of how the name Acid Jazz was created. Gilles Peterson is normally credited for having invented the "acid jazz" name, when a fellow DJ showed Peterson a new Acid House record that had just been released. When he showed the record to Gilles Peterson, he replied, "if that is Acid House, then this is Acid Jazz".
In the United States notable acid-jazz groups have included Groove Collective and Solsonics; although during the 1990s the major contributions from the US related to jazz dance were predominantly in jazz-house (from labels such as 8 Ball Records) and jazz-rap, particularly by artists such as A Tribe Called Quest, Blacksheep, De la Soul, and the Jungle Brothers. From Japan, notable artists included United Future Organization who released 'I Love my Baby: My Baby Loves Jazz' as well as a cover of Grady Tate's 'Moondance'; another prominent artist from Japan was the female vocalist, Monday Michiru. From the UK, Repercussions who had a top hit, Promise me nothing. Other more recent artists and groups who have produced music in this genre include Mother Earth, Mr. Scruff, Visit Venus, Praful, and Down to the Bone.
