Acid Jazz

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.

Acid Jazz presents the second LP from Glasgow-based jazz ensemble Nimbus Sextet – Forward Thinker. Led by Joe Nicholls, the band emerged in 2020 with their debut Dreams Fulfilled and a series of remixes and singles on Acid Jazz, establishing them as one of the most exciting jazz groups in the UK. An exuberant, innovative and uplifting second effort, the band steps out From The Shadows and the turbulence of the last couple of years, with a positive message and buoyant outlook.
