I would definitely recommend both GBA "West Coast Boogaloo" and Greboy's "Land
of the Lost" which are in my opinion 2 of the best contemporary acid jazz
records.
The Live album mentionned is very good as well (with a great version of "Check
out your mind"). Also try to find the Karl Denson "The D stands for Diesel"
with Andy Bey as a guest!
If you're more into downtempo though you'd probably prefer Greyboy's albums,
the Greboy Allstars being more of live jazz-funk band.
