I was looking up one of my favorite artists, Jamiroquai and I've always considered his music to be a combo of funk/ groove and R&B but I look him up and he's classified as acid jazz. I'd never even heard of acid jazz. What's your difinition of it? Do you know any artist that fits in that category? Do you even like it?

If Jamiroquai is acid jazz, I'm really fond of it. I've seen it written before but never actually found out what it meant.

I always thought of it as funk sort of stuff... people label things crazily nowadays. Someone labeled a song by The Servant as being a Salsa song. Look them up... they are very, VERY not salsa rofl

Just like she said Jamiroquai is acid jazz but he's known for his later stuff that has more of a disco pop dance feel. Check out his first two albums and you'll see what i mean.

US 3 is the one that i recognized they sampled Cantaloup Island and that was really my first introduction to jazz.

Most of his songs do have that disco feel. I have those first two of his albums and they all seemed that way except for a few songs, until you hear that term it's hard to connect him to Jazz.
