Actually, when I read these posts, I thought that people were commenting on the
roots of acid jazz rather than standards. I always consider "standard" to mean
a classic of a particular genre that is frequently covered(such as, in jazz,
there are loads: "'Round Midnight", "Summertime", etc. or, with rock, there's
"Louie Louie", some late period Beatles stuff, etc.). Though "Red Clay" might
be considered for acid jazz as well (after all, Solsonics did it) I don't know
if it qualifies as such. Hmm....

The tunes that seem to be listed are Red Clay, Chameleon etc ....
This seems to define a portion of 'acid-jazz' as light fusion / funk. I mean,
So What has also come up but not as much as Red Clay.
