JV\u2019s Boogaloo Squad
Going to Market<\/em>
(Flatcar Records)
3.5\/5<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wasn\u2019t sure what to expect when I slid Going to Market<\/em> into my car stereo, but I was drawn right in. JV\u2019s Boogaloo Squad are a trio from Toronto; the CD cover features three very approachable-looking dudes smiling away. Upon opening up the packaging, I saw a write-up of how their lives and music have been heavily influenced by Black artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The music is cool; the songs are all instrumental and are a fusion of jazz, soul, swing, and funk. Listening to this feels like a time- travelling trip to when some of the most influential music trends were started. It isn\u2019t what I will always listen to in my car, but I can definitely see having it on while I have dinner guests, or maybe throwing a Mad Men<\/em>-themed party featuring this CD as the soundtrack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSquadzilla\u201d took me down a path that echoed a cocktail party in the 1970s, and \u201cCapybara Walk\u201d had the distinct sound of a detective show from the same era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going to Market<\/em> is a groove-filled musical journey and a worthy purchase for those who love soul.
