“They put on a fantastic show, demonstrating musicianship of the highest quality and excellent engagement with the audience – this is a group of musicians who take their craft seriously, but know how to have a good time.” ~ Josh Grossman, TD Toronto Jazz Festival
Winnipeg native and now in-demand Toronto keyboardist Joel Visentin, joined up with hip, on-the-scene musicians, guitarist Adam Beer-Colacino and drummer Jeff Halischuk, to form JV’s Boogaloo Squad, in 2015. The musical connection was immediate and electric, the chemistry palpable, and all three instantly recognized that they had stumbled on something greater than the sum of its parts. They have since honed their vintage yet modern sound on the club circuit in Toronto, becoming a regular fixture at The Rex, as well as playing festivals like the Markham Jazz Festival and the TD Toronto Jazz Festival. In Markham, they had the great fortune of playing before living jazz organ legend Dr. Lonnie Smith.
