what is acid jazz?

>For all those who really don't know:
>Jazzanova - the true story
>
>Jazzanova are a Berlin based producer collective consisting of the Jazzanova
>DJ-team (JЭrgen von Knoblauch, Alexander Barck, and Claas Brieler), the
>producers Stefan Leisering and Axel Reinemer and Kosma (Roskow Kretschmann).
>
>Jazzanova had discovered their sonic brotherhood while djing together at
>Berlin's Delicious Doughnuts club; they hooked up as a team back in 1995.
>
>To Jazzanova, music means the search for a common language of international
>club music, to take in influences from all different cultures and musical
>styles, to fuse these styles together and get the audience involved in the
>whole musical spectrum of that fusion. Their love for deep jazz and modern
>beats has led their music to become a somewhat stunning amalgamation of
>retro and new sounds that echoes almost all muscial styles from HipHop or
>afrofunk to drum & bass, boogie, brazil, latin, and soul. Always reacting
>directly to new and fresh influences, Jazzanova have developed a
>percussion-oriented, sophisticated, clean and warm broken-beat-style that is
>constantly changing in form and allows no pigeon-holing. It's just simply
>jazzanova!
>
>Ever since Gilles Peterson played their first track, "Fedime's Flight" on
>his radio show in 1997, Jazzanova have been asked to produce remixes for
>many of their idols. They still first and foremost enjoy working on remix
>pieces for artists that have especially influenced and inspired them, like
>U.F.O., 4 Hero, Incognito, and Azymuth.
>
>In their attempt to pay tribute to the artist they are interpreting,
>Jazzanova always try to capture the very essence not only of the particular
>track, but of the entire album. As you listen closely to their remixes, you
>will often discover elements of the artist's former records and find the
>spirit of his entire work reflected. As each Jazzanova remix is produced
>with great respect and effort, it is not unusual that it sometimes takes up
>to three months of work in the studio before a remix is completed. What they
>finally come up with are some excellently produced, very DJ-set oriented
>pieces that shift between different styles and tempi, oscillate between
>jazzy and electronic feelings and are sure to enjoy dancers and listeners
>alike.
>
>The flourishing collaboration between the two German labels Jazzanova
>Records and Compost Records began with the EP "Caravelle". Due to their
>long-time friendship and their similar opinions on music, the Jazzanovas and
>Compost-owner Michael Reinboth decided to team up as a new label in winter
>1998. With Michael bringing in his know -how and experience as a label
>producer and Jazzanova contributing the music, JCR has set new standards on
>club sounds and will guarantee the finest collection of current jazz
>impressions flavoured with unique and refreshing vibes and beats.
>
>With the founding of Sonarkollektiv, Jazzanova have set forth their idea of
>mutual exchange and networking with other artists - it functions as an
>alliance of different Berlin musicians and serves as a "trainee-program" and
>door-opener to the world of international club music to many.
>
>Sonarkollektiv is giving musicians, artists and DJ's the possibility to
>realise their own ideas without taking care of technical and business
>compulsions in the music market - this is the task of Sonar Kollektiv, under
>which roof several labels found their home (Airdrops, Dialog, Recreation, No
>Zession, Mermaid, Best Seven, Hotdrop Recordings, Aspekte).
