Not to add additional confusion. Its my understanding that Acid Jazz got
its name from as a way to mock the acid house movement of that era in the
UK. Its sound was not rooted in the acid house sound.

Hi Naoki -
"Acid Jazz" was a term made up by a London DJ who in 1985 mixed
"acid"-house
music with
brazilian "jazz" music, and thus came "Acid Jazz".
> First of all, I cannot understand "gigs" "moogu" meaning
A "gig" is a nickname for a concert, or a show or a performance. When a
band
or a DJ has a performance at a club or concert hall, it's a "gig."
I don't know what "moogu" means, but if you mean "Moog," it is a brand of
analog synthesizer that was popular in the 1970s, and a lot of old 70s
funk
(and current Acid-Jazz) use "Moog" synthesizer sounds.
>also, I want to know original place of acid-jazz.
Acid Jazz originated in London, England - but of course it is worldwide
now!
