Not Bad's 2014 compilation Acid Jazz Mod rounds up 40 moddish highlights released on the Acid Jazz label over the years. Although there are some reissued sides, often this amounts to newer acts -- or veterans, such as a re-formed John's Children or Paul Weller -- attempting to conjure a bit of the magical Motown beat or Who fury. It all adds up to a swinging retro party, one where all the swinging styles never fall out of fashion. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
