What Tom mentions below seems to be the position I am in. I'm not sure I
understand what acid jazz actually is and I do associate Corduroy with
acid jazz, the difference with me being I actually do like Corduroy and
its this style of music that I'm looking for. Really though I don't know
where to start, apart from this list that is.....tracks by Corduroy like
High Havoc, Money Is and Corduroy Orgasm Club (I think the those titles
are correct) all have a heavy reliance on keyboard and its this kind of
sound that I'm looking for in other bands, but just don't know what to
buy, where to look etc. I have picked up a couple of James Taylor
Quartet albums also, but they don't seem to have the same funky kind of
feel that the tracks I mention above do........
Therefore, I'd appreciate it if anyone could make some recommendations
or point me in the right direction as where I can find music by similar
sounding bands....Sorry if this request seems a bit open ended, but I'm
so new to this scene its untrue and as this list seems to be quite a
treasure trove of musical knowledge and know-how hopefully someone will
be able to help
