    The best thing about this list to me is that no one really knows exactly
    what ³Acid Jazz² is ‹ that forever unanswerable question has kept this list
    fresh and full of all kinds of great music for years now.

    Two really brilliant ³Acid Jazz² artists I discovered thanks to the
    wonderful people on this list are Fila Brazillia and Kruder & Dorfmeister.
    Any release by either is a sure thing IMHO.

    Welcome!
