I was doing my dutiful reading on the site, going through Articles. Someone uses a quote from *DJ Trevor Walker*. Who's this guy?

Some other comments (ssilcoff@ccs.carleton.ca)
From *DJ Trevor Walker*, one of the FINEST DJs and the father of the Ottawa jazz scene: (Acid jazz) is ethnic urban music, ethnic in the sense that in urban centers there's a different culture from rural areas. Even if you go from city to city there's different cultures, different terminologies people use.
It takes its roots from the drum, from African music, from Latin American music, jazz, be-bop, rock and roll, poetry. It's just a fusion of all kinds of different sounds on an urban tip. It's funky.
It's really hard to put your finger on it...It's just good music. If you want to call it acid jazz it's the easiest thing you can.
