Acid Jazz

UK [l=Acid Jazz] band active in the first half of the 1990s.

For the psychedelic rock band from the 60s, see [a=Mother Earth (4)].


Acid Jazz is a British label that was established in 1987 by Eddie Piller and Gilles Peterson. Although Peterson left in 1989 to form Talkin' Loud, the label continued to thrive under the management of Dean Rudland. The name 'Acid Jazz' was a playful response to the popular 'acid house' movement of the late 80s. Despite its name, Acid Jazz produced records that were not necessarily jazz or acid music, but they quickly became synonymous with 90s style and sophistication. In fact, the term 'acid jazz' began being used to describe any record with a similar vibe. Today, Acid Jazz remains an influential force in the music industry.

Back In Stock

In 1991 Acid Jazz owner Ed Piller and his roommate Bunny entered a tiny studio in north west London with the idea that they would try to make an album. eight months later, what emerged was a new band and one of the lost classics of the early 90s - a combination of hip hop beats, rock guitars and soulful voices that really put the band mother earth on the map. The recording process saw an ever-changing set of personnel pass through the studio, including Leftfield's Paul Daley, the Brand New Heavies' Simon Bartholomew and James Taylor. As they did so, a permanent line-up of local musicians started to coalesce into a band that would be able to play the album live. The result was an LP with a blaxploitation soundtrack feel converted into a contemporary sound. By the time Stoned Woman was released the band were a touring outfit, and the album's cuts such as Riot on 103rd Street and Stoned Woman had already become live favourites.
