Though I'm unsure of the whereabouts of Skerik, Charlie Hunter and Stanton Moore both have their own trios. I am uneducated on the differences between acid jazz and jazz fusion, so I'm not quite sure what to label them, but Outre Mer by Garage a Trio is a great album to start off with just to get a sample of the three. Skerik is an amazing saxophonist. They guy does wonders with air.  Charlie is on the guitar and Stanton is usually on the drums. Hope this gave you a little boost on your jazz mission. |
Good Show
Stanton Moore's solo albums are great. MMW would be a very accessible suggestion as well. I have yet to meet anyone who has heard miles' Kinda' Blue an not liked it.
Acid Jazz=funky jazz
Jazz fusion= electric jazz or rock & jazz hybrid hence the term fusion.
the two genres do overlap quite a bit
