=== Origin ===

Acid jazz has its origins in the 1950s, 1960s, when [[psychedelia|psychedelic styles]] were being incorporated into other musical genres, jazz being one of these. Acid jazz became popular in London clubs during the 1980s when disc jockeys associated with the [[rare groove]] movement played obscure jazz records. Their interests were in the fringe of [[jazz fusion]], [[jazz funk]], and the [[soul jazz]] of 1960s. Particularly significant were records from the [[Blue Note Records|Blue Note]] catalogue.<ref name=Bush2001/> These DJs included Gilles Peterson, who had residencies at several London clubs in the 1980s. Peterson began in a small [[pirate radio]] station and then moved to the larger [[Kiss (UK radio station)|Kiss-FM]]. In 1988 with producer [[Eddie Piller]] he formed the label [[Acid Jazz Records]]. The first release from the company was the compilation ''Totally Wired'', which contained obscure jazz funk tracks from the 1970s with updated new tracks.<ref name="Bush2001">{{cite book |last1=Bush |first1=John |editor1-last=Bogdanov |editor1-first=Vladimir |title=All Music Guide to Electronica |date=2001 |publisher=[[Backbeat Books]] |location=San Francisco, California |isbn=0-87930-628-9 |pages=647–649}}</ref>
