The second installment in the Diggin' Deeper: The Roots of Acid Jazz series, which collects Funk, Jazz, Soul, Fusion, and Disco sides from the deep Columbia/Epic/Sony catalog, includes such gems as "Use Me" by Esther Phillips, Ramsey Lewis' cover version of "Living For The City", Herbie Hancock's "Just Around The Corner" and "Sugar Loaf Mountain" by George Duke.

Whatever it is or isn't, acid jazz is full of groove DNA and even when chilled, it makes the feet move. This set moves and grooves from end to end, and even listeners with little interest in the Acid Jazz movement that surfaced some two decades after most of these tracks were recorded will find a great little alternative dance album lurking here.
