band]] 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 90s 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 aims of acid jazz is to return jazz to its roots in dancing halls; therefore, it incorporates "catchy", "groovy" sounds. ORIGINS The early origins of the genre relate to a 1970s funk revival movement initiated in the discos of England in the mid- 1980s . This revival movement was called '' Northern Soul ''. In this movement, DJ s competed against each other to find the rarest grooves--mainly from forgotten 70s soul and funk. There are various legends running of how the name ''Acid Jazz'' was created. Gilles Peterson is normally credited for having invented the "acid jazz" name, when a fellow DJ showed Peterson a new Acid House record that had just been released. When he showed the record to Gilles Peterson, he replied, "if that is Acid House, then this is Acid Jazz".
