    Greetings, list,

    I am new to this list.

    Welcome aboard!!!

    I've been lurking for sometimes now. Not only I am new to this list but also
    to this genre of music. I was acquainted to AC last April.

    My fav albums from since last April, are Bossa Mundo, Uman, Bebel Gilberto:
    Tanto Tempo, Monday Michiru: New Beginnings, UFO: United Future
    Organization, Zuco 103, Mono: Formica blues, Jazz Spectrum by Keb Darge &
    Dr.Bob Jones. (I don't even know if they could be categorized under Acid
    Jazz)

    My knowledge is limited. Could anyone help me by giving me some names of
    which I should really listen to?

    There are so many folks here on this list who can help you out. Check out
    http://www.groovedis.com for a great place to listen to stuff before you
    buy.

    some directions, please!!

    Sort of depends on what tempo you like.

    btw, can anyone give me a broad definition of what Acid Jazz is?

    My definition sort of goes like what ever gives you great goose bumps and
    makes you inner mind float.

    Does it mean re-arranged modernized Jazz?

    Sometimes, Maybe possibilities are endless.

    I had listened to some Traditional Jazz in the past, however, only limited
    to Big-band, swing, maybe some Bop...Do you all well acquainted with Jazz?

    I use to listen to Ted Heath orchestra when I was really young. My best
    friend's Dad listen the Heath all the time and I really did appreciate the
    swing.

    Is it necessary to know Jazz in order to appreciate Acid Jazz?

    I don't think so. It is great to be technical about everything going on in
    the genre yet sometimes it is blissful to know nothing at all. Shout at Gen
    Kanai in NYC, Jason Weatherspoon, Dirk from GrooveDis, Bethany from
    Hotlanta, Ga, http://www.downbeat.org Brother Lee Sartori and Brother Stimp,
    Hell there are many more out there. Get in touch with the sponge within you
    and absorb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Thank you for your time,

    New to AJ
