Having recently been blessed with hearing some lovely acid jazz by Goto Yashiki, I've explored the genre some more, and loving every second of it.

So I thought I'd share my love for this great genre, with you guys. (Even if it probably will be under-appreciated).

For those that are already familiar with this genre, please share the songs you know of, and what you think of it. Any input is appreciated. :)

For those that don't know, there's always wikipedia: Acid Jazz.


Here's some of the songs I've listened to, that have made me like this genre(s).

If anyone is interested, I have some albums uploaded, just message me if you're interested in more.

Yay! This thread turned out great xD

Nice stuff... I really like the music of Kyoto Jazz Massive... They're the only ones I know from the videos. But all of the other artists are really good too. I hope to hear more of them.

Four80East reminded me of the groove of Medeski Martin & Wood.. Though Four80East probably sounds more electronic..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuCXJlfeq7I , John Scofield with MMW in the first one. Be sure check them out.. They're a great band.

And you'll probably like some of the songs in the GT5 prologue soundtrack too..: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=3311E2E5CCC97A64

Those are the only ones that I can think of which sound like the songs that you've posted.. hehehe Anyway, thanks for sharing the songs and I hope you continue to discover more of Jazz music.. Acid Jazz is just one of the great sub-genres of Jazz..

Glad you liked them. The songs you linked, wasn't really my kind of cookie, pity. : p



And looking at the replies, I guess the other Crunchyrollers are too busy listening to J-Pop and overrated artists in general.

lol , what do you expect this is crunchyroll. Where anime's appear 24/7.. This all started when the fan girl and fan boy immigrants start settling in crunchyroll telling their friend to join crappy groups and fan groups . Making to much groups in cr and spamming your notifications saying accept or deny >,> its life.......


EDIT

Kyoto Jazz Massive - Shine <--- not bad :]

Well, I was expecting that most would ignore this thread, but I didn't imagine it would be this bad... <_<


Glad you like Kyoto Jazz Massive.

Ah, is that so? Well to each his/her own I guess.. hehehe

Yeah. Sometimes the thing that makes them listen to J-Pop and the like, isn't really about how the artists sound like but about how they look like... But of course there are still some decently produced J-Pop songs.. Though not a lot of them... hehehe

And thanks again for sharing these great artists..

Guess you could say so, I suspect some people of not daring to try out new things.


No problem.

pfft. Your thread was made 1 day ago. Don't expect your thread to be flock so much with that little time frame so far. sheesh. :p
You worry about it when 3 months or a year has passed but only few have try to even bother.

I'm open to everything.
In fact, I also listen to enka songs.
I even prefer listening to Sung Si Kyung's version of Whenever, wherever, whatever than the original version of Maxwell.

True, got to chillax a bit.


What's enka?

It sounds country or traditional

It sounds like this:

Korean ballad is on the par or better than enka, in my opinion.

That song is awesomeness.

That was lovely song, certainly something I could enjoy listening to. Thanks for the song.

Haha, liked it quite much! I think I grew quite fond of Yashiki, Free the Robots(The video is awesome haha), Jazzanova, Kyoto Jazz bah..loved all of it. =D

Acid Jazz? If you are looking for any American/English bands, then try The Soft Machine (3rd album and after, as their first two are mainly just psychedelic weirdness), Gong (more psychedelic weirdness, but they have a jazz influence), Medeski Martin and Wood, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band, some Frank Zappa, and Garaj Mahal. Hope that helps.
