Acid Jazz

Acid jazz emerged in 1980s London when a group of music lovers realised that mixing jazz, funk, and hip hop was the perfect excuse for dancing whilst wearing stylishly oversized jackets. Characterised by groovy basslines, jazzy horns, and laid-back beats, it sounds like a fun night at the pub but with fewer pints and more saxophones. This genre has been so influential that even your favourite cocktail lounge likely has a dedicated 'acid jazz' playlist, baffling the bar staff as to why nobody's ordered a drink in ages.
