Sure it was, in its own way. Just as the acid-jazz movement in the 80's
where an alternative to acid (as in house/techno acid that is). But still,
listen to for example Donald Byrd. His early bop thing is of course what
lead him to his more funk orientated 60's and 70's sound. You can find
influences in just about everything.... what I mean is that bop in some
way surley has influenced the jazz scene in the late 60's and the 70's.

What I tried to do was just to describe where the term Acid-jazz came
from and what music was associated with the term from the beginning.
Of course the list of original influences could be endless.......
