>>
>>1)Tribe Called Quest-People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of

>>who knows Tribe will agree that they were one of the first rap acts to

>>jazz samples very heavily
>>
>>2)Miles Davis- Doo Bop; TOTALLY rocked my world back in '93. Too bad
>Miles
>>died before the record was finished; he would have been proud.
>>
>>3)Digable Planets- Reachin' (a new refutation of time and space).
>Still my
>>favorite acid-jazz record
>>
>>4)Guru- Jazzmatazz volume 1- featured many old jazz-funk musicians
>like Roy
>>Ayers, Donald Byrd and Lonnie Liston Smith. N'Dea Davenport even sings
>on
>>one tune.
>>
>>5)The early "Rebirth Of Cool" series- The first compilation of
>acid-jazz to
>>be widely distributed. Turned alot of people on to AJ for the first
>time.
>>
>>6)Massive Attack- Blue Lines (nuff said)
>>
>>7)Early Brand New Heavies- Definitely helped define the sound
>>
>>8)Early Incognito- Ditto
>>
>>9)Early James Taylor Quartet- helped revive the Hammond/B3/Moog sound
>and
>>had people digging out their parent's old Jimmy McGriff and Herbie
>Hancock
>>records
>>
>>10)Us3-Hand On The Torch- Cantaloop (flip fantasia) is probably the
>first
>>AJ tune to be widely recognized. Sold millions
