Acid jazz
Acid jazz, also known as club jazz, is a musical genre that combines elements of jazzsoulfunk and disco. Acid jazz originated in the London club scene of the mid-1980s in the rare groove movement and spread to the US, Japan, Eastern Europe and Brazil. Major acts included Brand New HeaviesIncognitoUs3 and Jamiroquai from the UK and A Tribe Called QuestBuckshot LeFonque and Digable Planets from the US. The rise of electronic club music in the mid to late 1990s led to a decline in interest, and in the twenty-first century, the movement became indistinct as a genre. Many acts that might have been defined as acid jazz are now seen as jazz-funkneo soul or jazz rap.
