Which is why when this acid jazz labelling of music first started it had
a lot of people up in arms as to what was acid jazz. Relabelling of a
lot of good 70's funky jazz, jazz funk etc. No one cares anymore and the
term is applied loosely to anything that seems to have a hint of jazz in
it. Me I don't care I just appreciate music. Give it whatever label that
you want but so long as it has a groove it'll get my guilder. yes in
this part of the world the guilder reigns supreme. Who knows it could be
the emu in a few years time.

Tahira, the 2 albums that I have (people tree and U have been watching)
are both pretty similar in sound. they are very cassic rock with a
slight
lean to the funky side. very good music, but I don't consider it to be
acid jazz, and really don't understand why it is classified as such.

but then i would say the same about snowboy, which is put out on the
same
label. good latin jazz, but nothing which says acid jazz to me.
confusing.
