The Spirit of Acid Jazz Rewind!

22 March @ 8:00 pm

£8
Following on from our epic Spirit of Acid Jazz club nights at the Spiegeltent and Waterbear last year we present you with the next chapter!
Fresh for 2025, we’re back at the fabulous Waterbear Venue, Brighton on Saturday March 22nd for a Spring Party not to be missed!
Once again, firmly rooted in the Freedom Principle, we’ll be delving into a music genre that combines elements of Funk, Soul and Hip Hop with Jazz and Disco.

Originating in UK clubland in the late 80’s and combining elements of the Rare Groove and Jazz Dance scenes the Acid Jazz movement took off in the early 90’s.
A myriad of live acts took the sound global including Jamiroquai , The Brand New Heavies, Galliano, James Taylor Quartet, Incognito, The Digable Planets, Incognito and many more.
Brighton was at the forefront of the Acid Jazz scene with Russ Dewbury’s Jazz Bop live event showcasing many of these artists to packed out crowds and his Brighton Jazz Rooms club nights rocking the sound at the weekends.

Come and join us on Saturday March 22nd as Russ together with special guest DJ Simon Richmond (Palm Skin Productions – Mo Wax/Tru Thoughts Records) take us on a musical journey back to those heady times..
Palm Skin Productions were an integral part of the early 90’s music scene releasing many cuts for James Lavelle’s legendary Mo Wax Records. Simon continues to take the Palm Skin sound forward recently signing to Brighton’s very own Tru Thoughts Records. We’re delighted to have Live Percussion maestro Tim “Bongos”Mercer joining us too.

Come to Dance!
