Reflecting about my personal collection I found some gems of smooth acid jazz projects of groups, which have immediately changed their style or about which I never heard again. Two examples shall be presented here:

Probably one of the most innovative projects is the album "Colour Club" of the same named group. Released 1994 on the JVC label, it found no successor in this style. The group changes to club/dance and contemporary urban/RnB. Colour Club are Les Pierce and Bernard Wise. The album is a mixture of acid jazz, smooth jazz and some hip-hop. My favorite : "Freedom Words" with soundbites of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (Rick Braun plays the fantastic muted trumpet on the second part). Also recommendable: "Consumption", it's my Rick Braun special. Bernard 's bass sounds like Marcus Miller and "The Cultures of Jazz", this jazzy hip-hop tune has a kicking brass section (Tony Guerrero - trumpet and Gary Meek - sax). Search the album, it's worth to buy!

More difficult to find is the album "Never Be Another Day Like Dis" by the group Vibe ). I found this album at the Street Jazz Collection. The album was released by Soulfood Records in 1993. Vibe ) are Suzette Love, Erik Hagström, Erik "Myron" Anderson and Ulf Lindström. A Swedish group from Stockholm. One can compare their music with The Brand New Heavies. It's a vocal album with many acid jazz elements. My favorite: "Survive".
