I don't think that even Gilles P would now call some of the other stuff he
plays acid jazz anymore - to me it refers to a lot of the stuff on the acid
jazz label - mother earth, galliano, brand new heavies, night trains et al.,
It seems like acid jazz is a word I never hear used in London at anymore as
the arena has opened a great deal encompassing the Jazz Dance (old & new),
Eclectic beats, Drum & Bass, Nu Jazz, Nu Disco, electro boogie, funky latin
shit and the rest.
