5th - 10th April. 11am-5pm Daily. £3 + Booking Fee.
An exhibition charting 35 years of the Acid Jazz Movement.
Acid Jazz was first coined in 1987 as a term by DJ's Chris Bangs & Gilles Peterson at an acid house night as an ironic reaction to the music policy of the night in question. Acid Jazz Records started as a simple bedroom operation established by Gilles Peterson and Eddie Piller, within three months of the first 45 release (Frederic Lies Still by Galliano), the label had grown rapidly and laid out a unique manifesto of alternative club sounds - jazz, street-soul, funk, latin, reggae, hip hop and jazz poetry all put in an early appearance.
