Well, I think it's important to remember that when a lot of electronic dance fans call something "jazzy" it's in the adjective sense of the word (cool, mellow, sophisticated) and not in the noun sense of the word (improvised music). I can't really speak for a lot of acid jazz, but this seems to be the case when discussing techno, jungle et al. - Matthew "I grew up thinking that techno music is actually something that you can't imagine. That is techno at its best. If you hear something that you'd never expect to hear - that's techno. If you hear something that kind of sounds like you've heard it before, then it's not techno." - Jeff Mills
