    Strictly speaking the artists you mention are not acid jazz artists either,
    and I'm not sure why you consider that to be "real music"... maybe because
    they are out on major domestic labels with heavy distribution and commercial
    FM radio air play? I can understand how that would make them seem more
    legitimate to your average American consumer.
