> Are their any mods out there who are into acid jazz? When I was a youngster I was very much into the mod thing, but I sort of outgrew it as I got older. However, a few years ago when I discovered acid jazz I was amazed at the similarities between the two styles -- soulful music, sixties-ish look, dancing, etc. So I'm wondering if there is some sort of connection between the mods, northern soul and acid jazz. Any ideas?

One good example would be Mick Talbot. I first heard of him playing keyboards with
the Mod revival band the Merton Parkas in 1979. He then formed The Style Council with
Paul Weller in the early eighties and later went on to play keyboards with
Galliano and more recently Carleen Anderson.
