acid jazz
Funky instrumental hybrid
Acid jazz is a music genre that emerged in the late 1980s, blending jazz with elements of funk, soul, and electronic dance music.
It typically features live instrumentation alongside sampling, synthesizers, and hip-hop-influenced beats, creating a groove-oriented sound suited for both listening and dancing.
The style was pioneered by British artists and DJs and later gained international following.
