I picked up The Best of Acid Jazz Volume 2 on the now defunct but stellar Instinct label many moons ago (and I couldn't tell you where or why) but it has been a staple of my playlist ever since.
Couldn't tell you what "acid jazz" is and don't care too much. Over the years it's blurred, as genres tend to do, into a fuzzy Ninja Tunes/Mo' Wax kind of jazzy thing (which makes sense considering you can find DJ Krush among others on some of these comps) which means I really like these.
Some of the tracks may sound familiar (especially from the After Hours comp) as they show up on a multitude of other compilations but both provide a sweet groove.
There are dozens and dozens of these compilations out there so if you dig these you're sure to find the others just as enjoyable.

This Is Acid Jazz: After Hours (1994)
Great and varied posts recently, thank you. I have most of the tracks on vinyl but have never seen these particular cd's. Not sure if this will be your cuppa tea , but this is my favourite album this year, thus far.
