Electronic Music Styles: Downtempo/IDM : Acid Jazz

Acid jazz (also known as groove jazz or more recently club jazz) is a musical genre that combines jazz influences with elements of soul music, funk, disco and also nineties english dance music, particularly repetitive beats and modal harmony. It developed over the 1980s and 1990s and could be seen as taking the boundary crossing of jazz fusion onto new ground.

One of the ideas of this genre is to return jazz to where it was born, in the dancing hall. That is why it has soulful, groovy, catchy inclinations and sound
