  Acid jazz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Acid jazz (also known as groove jazz or more recently club jazz) is a musical genre that combines jazz influences with elements of soul music, funk, disco and also 90s English dance music, particularly repetitive beats and modal harmony.
One of the aims of acid jazz is to return jazz to its roots in dancing halls; therefore, it incorporates "catchy", "groovy" sounds.

 The First Jazz Records
The standard history of Jazz generally considers the first Jazz record to have been the Original Dixieland 'Jass' Band's "Dixie Jass Band One Step" and "Livery Stable Blues." This record was made for the Victor label in New York on February 26, 1917.
Apparently the record was to be released under the name of Borbee's Tango Orchestra but the band's name was changed from "Tango" to "Jass" to take advantage of the success of the Original Dixieland Jass Band and the Jazz craze that they had spawned in New York.
Their first record Johnson's "Jass" Blues and Canary Cottage were fairly "jazzy" in style as are the records that they recorded in July and August of 1917.

I really applaud Mehldau's willingness to use such material as vehicles for jazz improvisation (and his overall eclecticism), because the so-called standards of yesteryear were fresh as daisies when jazzmen like Louis Armstrong, Jack Teagarden, Lester Young, Benny Goodman, etc. first began recording them in the early thirties.
