acid jazzn.
/asɪd ˈdʒaz/, U.S. /ˌæsəd ˈdʒæz/ A genre of dance music, first popular within the United Kingdom club subculture of the late 1980s, incorporating elements of jazz, funk, soul, and hip-hop.The term, coined as a humorous play on the name of the then-flourishing Acid House movement, was popularized by the Acid Jazz record label, founded in 1987. The label's earliest releases compiled both original recordings and re-releases of jazz, funk, and soul material from the 1960s–70s, while the series on the BGP label entitled Acid Jazz (see quot. 1988) comprised only re-released material.

1998 S. Reynolds Energy Flash xiii. 321 Punning on acid house, acid jazz was a riposte to rave culture, signalling a Luddite retreat to live musicianship and the resurrection of the idea of clubland as a metropolitan élite (as opposed to rave's suburban populism).
