almost 3 years after the pubblication of this video showing the mixtape made by my uncle "Jack" I've noticed that it is becoming popular to the acid jazz listeners and also other people who doesn't know this amazing music genre, I don't know why but in the past 3 weeks this video rapidly increased views and also comments. Honestly when I decided to import the cassette tape into a digital format then edited this video I never cared about the feedback or success number of views and stuff like that, I don't even care about it now but the fact that many people listen that whether they already love acid jazz or not give me feedback makes me very happy! I'm glad this mixtape created by my uncle over 30 years ago of underground music is going around the internet, so that I'm not the only one to listen and appreciate it. I repeat I didn't even expect it and I started the project without any expectations but I'm very happy about that, thanks to all of you!
Just pure music. It’s weird how so few people really experiment with music. This is ear candy because you don’t hear stuff like this everyday. For Miles Davis jazz became boring because it became defined by rules…which was in his mind exactly the opposite of what jazz was. I played behind a guy one night at a slam poetry gig. I never heard what he was going to do. I said just go, and I’ll fall in. I’d never done that before. But that’s how we approached it. It was fabulous. Kinda scary… but I just went with the flow of what he was doing. That was one of my favorite nights of music ever. Never repeated. You couldn’t…because it was spontaneous creativity. That’s what jazz should be to a large degree. IMHO
yoo thank you so much for that information! It took me years to know that song because when I found Uncel Jack's cassette It was just a cassette named only "A Collection Of Acid Jazz Records" so there was no tracklist or stuff like that, now I can finally complete the tracklist! :D
I had an Acid Jazz tape I bought and fell in love with it. Techno Powers ( 16:06 A Man Called Adam - Techno Powers (1989) was my jam from that tape. I kept rewinding that tape to hear that one over and over! Thanks so much for including that one on this mix! It's like an old friend you hadn't seen in years!
it was so unexpected for me to see that a lot of people like you have such nostalgia for those songs, fun fact: I'm just a 20 years old guy so I didn't lived in the 80s/90s but it makes nostalgia for me too because I listened this mixtape so many times that I instantly recognize every song and also it makes me thinking about my special Uncle Jack!
This sounds like the background music you would hear in a JRPG's home or hubworld, particularly if it was a lounge, covfefe shop, or bookstore. Probably more modern or contemporary in setting rather than medieval fantasy. Like Persona if it had a gimmicky Wario Ware type Wii game.
1996-1998...Beatroot Nightclub in the Lace Market Nottingham, predominantly Indy music but they had this cool little room that I'd always gravitate to that played this kind of Acid Jazz 🥰
Yoooo!! This is fire!! Love the music. Love to uncle Jack. Pure love to this mix tape. Man, i would really love to use these songs on my proyect, but don't know if them have copyright. B((( (thanks for blessing my ears dude B)) ).
I love this mix, I've been listening to it almost daily for the last weeks! Incredible mixtape, and the visuals go along nicely, great for having the video running on the screen :) Thanks for sharing this gem 📼🎶
I used to be pretty into Gilles Peterson's Acid Jazz label, but - except for the James Taylor Quartet and maybe Vibraphonic(?) - I haven't heard any of these bands! This mix must be filled with some pretty deep cuts. Great taste, thanks for making it!
Uncle Jack only made one mix tape like this? That's a shame. Is he still with us? If so, I hope he's inspired to start making them again. ETA: I see in the comments that he did make more. Now we have only to wait.
yes Uncle Jack maded more of these, but a lot of them were lost in the late 90s while he was living in Central America. And yes he is alive, maybe one day I'll create a new video about Uncle Jack's mixtapes
yeah for me it was the opposite, when I listened Home Soon for the first time I was like: oooooh I know where he took the sample 👀 and something like NOBODY knows that in fact just a few people know it
yes he made a bunch of cassettes with funky and acid jazz mixtape, I'd like to do another porting on RU-vid but unfortunately I don't have much free time
great work! Maybe add genre House to name of the video? think more people would click it, because I imagined something like real jazz without 4 on the 4. still I listened all video!
"Why does this channel have so many views and comments'" was what I was going to write. But I see you already posted a comment on it. RU-vid is very weird. Anyway, japanese acid jazz is the new frontier.
