>>>
>>>1)Tribe Called Quest-People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of
>>Rhythym-
>>>some will argue that this is more a rap record than an AJ record, but
>>anyone
>>>who knows Tribe will agree that they were one of the first rap acts to
>>use
>>>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
>>>
