Mezzoforte at Montreux 1984-"Surprise-Surprise"

[@jazzzzdude]

Casiopea and Mezzoforte were just two of many bands at the time playing music like this. Both awesome bands, they don't make them like this anymore. All (OK most) the really great jazz/funk/fusion (whatever you want to call it) bands around today are the ones that have been around for the last 20-30 years, these guys included.

Actually this is "Check it In" with a followup of "Action Man". Surprise, Surprise does not appear in this video ;o)

@funkynette I respectfully disagree; sounds like you have a gripe. Casiopea had brilliant, original compositions (e.g. Space Road, Eyes of the Mind, Looking Up, and The Soundgraphy). In addition, they predated Mezzoforte. That being stated, I feel both groups are outstanding, but I favor Issei Noro as the best guitarist I've ever heard.
