well, seeings as two of my all-time favourite records have been dissed in
the last coupla days (!), I just have to send in a list of my essentials in
and around the genre ...
So, twenty "acid jazz" (kinda) records I couldn't live without. There's
funk and jazz and hip hop etc in here, but a funk or hip hop or jazz or
electronic list would look different - the term acid jazz gives this
particular grouping some meaning, somehow (if that makes any sense!). In
no particular order...
Curtis Mayfield .. Superfly
Marvin Gaye .. What's Going On
Stevie Wonder .. Innervisions
The JBs .. Doin it to Death
Guru .. Jazmmatazz vol 1
MeShell .. Plantation Lullabies

Omar .. Music
Earth, Wind and Fire .. Gratitude
Erykah Badu .. Baduizm
