[@howellmarina]

who else is listening to this beautiful music in 2020?

[@karindidriksen2768]

I listened then and now! They were popular also in Norway, and we were so proud of them being Scandinavian! 👍

[@elmarrumler8452]

I do. within an youtube-evening with Stevie Wonder, Earth Wind & Fire, Shakatak and others. great song!

[@karindidriksen2768]

Elmar Rümler 👍 yes, really hot stuff! 🇳🇴

Me.. October 2020

[@GG-zg5mx]

Me too 😍

[@kirkpearce6441]

Such a unique and awesome jazz band, Mezzoforte. They still play this iconic jazz tune on our radio station here in Cape Town, South African. It was hard for me to believe they from Iceland. All the way from a cold country, creating the hottest jazz tunes. God bless

[@andz5909]

lekker by die see! Love this band!

[@slaszlo9088]

As long as the Earth exists, this song will survive!

[@Allen1350]

I was born in '91. Everybody I've ever talked to that lived the 80s tells me it was an amazing time. My mom, my sister, my dad, my older friends, some old enough to be my grandparents! If I'd been alive in the 80s, I would've been jamming out all the way! Simpler times, yet technology was seeing so many breakthroughs. Oh, what I wouldn't give to live and experience this era. 🙂 I'm borderline obsessed with 80s entertainment, including the music and the movies. The craziest part: people didn't realize what an epic decade they were experiencing while it was going on! Take me back, I'd go! 😃

È che pensavamo tutti che sarebbe stato sempre così e forse anche migliore.....invece i soldi hanno rovinato tutto.

[@mickeyfinnfinn5449]

Wonderful song - Remember buying that as a teen back in beginning of the1980s ? Haha My friends were pulling mine leg about listening to OLD PEOPLES MUSIC ? - Haha Well last laugh was on them - Missing out on this great music the fools ! -Ah and I'm 60 now ! And soare they ? Wonder what they are listening to ? Thanks for sharing these great tune - Steve B British Isles

[@johnhawkes7681]

Amazing, I could have written exactly what you have here! Absolutely wore this out as a teen, none of my mates could be arsed with it. Such a great vibe.

[@londonukhm]

The sound of my younger years, damned the eighties were just the best!

[@2ndlooks]

I remember this song from my childhood.... and listening to it again today... well... a FLY came into my eyes. :D NICE!

[@GG-zg5mx]

This song should become a world heritage site! With which other song do you start bobbing and rocking? Peace to EVERYONE!

[@gilwright9472]

[@user-er8zj7cb9d]

[@malcolmwearin4185]

One of my favourite instrumentals. 1983 uk

[@frankiii9165]

Thank you Àngel Casas for bringing Mezzoforte to your show for TV3 in 85… best show ever.

[@copenhagenjazzfunkcollecti2082]

I agree. This is fantastic music. You might like the music I have made with my friends. Is deeply inspired by Mezzoforte. Hope you will check it out. Yeah

[@benthead]

Great band. Come to California, get the right booking, and I guaranteed that you will be loved !

[@MrDavidvisagie]

This song was airplayed on a local radio station in the 80's. Good memories.

[@azhari9898]

The Energic of life , resources from Jazz improvitations as like as MEZZOFORTE...

[@antogarcia5207]

me encantaba grabaros a los dos en mis cintas de metal para el coche, en los 80

[@Underhills]

Shakatak and Mezzoforte. The two great instrumental groups of the 80s.

[@johnmilbourn8876]

@Funk O'Matic hi there

[@johnmilbourn8876]

@Funk O'Matic hi there everyone

[@betteroffdead]

Spira gyra ?

[@manchesterutdfan66]

[@funniecheeseman]

Don't forget Casiopea!!

[@rahmathidayatd6998]

Naaaaaah my childhood is back!

[@dodykusumah1468]

2022still listening..and keep enjoy

[@rabcor]

[@christopherbrown842]

I'm shocked! How could you not have heard of them? Your biggest international band before The Sugar Cubes! But pleased you found them.

[@howellmarina]

Such sunshine music in Iceland!

[@joesamplez]

Good that you've finally found them! I live way down south in Indonesia and have been enjoying their music since 1984!

[@rasmichael]

An Icelandic friend of mine took me to see them live in Denmark. Must have been mid-late eighties. Half the audience were Icelanders and they had smuggled in a lot of black death too. One of my best nights.

[@georgewelsh6702]

I heard Mezzoforte in the 80s and by goodness they are brillant ;

[@CHARLESNDC]

I discovered this song listening to the internet radio (MSN) smooth jazz 24/7 while at work. whenever it came on if i was in a bad mood it picked me up. if i was in a good mood it picked me up even more. i don't know about you all but it always gets me movin. so, if i'm sitting at my desk i have to at least "shake it" for a minute. i finally remembered to write the song title so that i could find on KZbin (which is awesome by the way). Time to go....I was invited to a "Garden Party".

[@macvaine]

awesome...................

[@rhondawilliams3815]

These guys are so Amazing this is what you call MUSIC !!!! 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🎷🎷🎺♥️🎼♥️

[@reinhardlanker3671]

Come on Rhonda, dance with me!

[@augerontgen8240]

A perfect piece of jazz ... funky bass grooves, excellent brass, drumms ... everything! Wakes up dead!

[@111sum]

Carnt believe Kevin Bacon is playing the drum for this group, excellent 👌

[@MrProplayer1]

Legend!

[@berikdahl]

May look a bit like him but the drummers name is Gunnlaugur Briem, he has played in Mezzoforte sin's the 70ties.

[@pedritodepedro3499]

Still unique and amazing almost 40 years later! How on earth could something so heart touching and warm come from somewhere like Iceland? ☺ Mindblowing!

[@jeffreyhamid]

l love Mezzoforte.... great memories listening to your music since the mid 80s...

[@glennjelich3174]

Brilliant musicians one and all, as a 14yo back then I was listening to this while all the other kids were listening to rap.......glad I went my own way.

[@TheSpookyDuke]

Fantastic! 80s forever!

[@RailwayFallout]

Totally ubelievably brilliant! I loved this track as a young 'un in the 80s and this live rendition is fantastic - hats off to those men!

[@Mike164365]

I'm from 1969 and Mezzoforte is one of the best music memories from when I was young. Bought the 12" Graden Party and Take It Of...on vinyl of course...

[@aussiedigger9265]

Coming into the top 40 at Number 40. First week in 06.03.1983

[@peterroland8010]

Das haben wir mit unserer Tanzband in den 80-ern gespielt ... ein Meisterwerk für die Zeit und bis heute geil ... dafür habe ich mir ein Saxophon gekauft ... I love it.

[@antogarcia5207]

esa trompeta es inmejorable, especialmente en JOIRIDE Y EVOLUTION

[@brandopiansay9557]

One of my favorite fussion band.

[@HFHalvorsen]

08/2022: When pro' musicians have devilish great fun at work, and they all are 100% in sync, heartbeat and rhythm music wise, music for the eternity, is suddenly created. This song, their greatest hit, came out in 1983. I have loved it ever since. Simply epic! ❤️

[@frankfrank392]

Einfach Kult, aus den 80ern, zeitlos und herrlich.

[@laszlohorvath4216]

Mágia varázslat és csoda köszönöm tehehetséges zenészbarátaim thanka

[@laszlohorvath4216]

Sorry THANKS!!!VERY THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@andycsoe]

​@@laszlohorvath4216Ne szégyelld, vannak ám itt magyarok is!😊😊 A szárnykürt szóló az eredetiben jobban tetszett, de ez igazi élő előadás, ez adja a valódi értékét. Csodálatos zene, én annak idején a Danubius rádióban hallottam először...

[@567morten]

This was the first vinyl I ever bought. Ten years ago I gave it away to a friend who loves and have played a lot of brass instruments.

[@BryllupsmusikInfo]

OMG - still as good live as back in the 80's when I heard the band in Denmark (Ringe Festival) ... My deepest respect for such live feeling and joy in music.

[@marloef11]

my gosh. Used to dance to this music when I was just a young woman. Nice to re discover an all time favorite.. Thank you...Thank you....... Keep the music alive!!!

[@DarranCariadCoins]

Awesome Mezzoforte, they are so talented. Loved the 80’s, it was the best era for music by a country mile.

[@tmdominate]

THIS IS MUSIC!!!

[@scopex2749]

I loved this when it first came out I have loved it for years STILL LOVING IT IN 2020 MEGA MEZZO👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤪😀😀 I was all into Jazz Funk back in the 80's and also DJ' ing the night clubs playing this and they LOVED IT! UPDATE! IN 2023 I have started SAX lessons!!

[@jimstevens1487]

Had the pleasure of seeing and meeting them in I think 1983.Great gig.Thanks.....

[@MasterStanNL]

Amazing! You can see the passion of the music in all of their faces!

[@vladimirlukco1749]

The most masterful instrumental composition👍👌🤗...

[@keithholderness1345]

[@riopermadi1966]

Thank you for inventing one of the Best Jazz Song of our generation! Amazing! This song never fail to lift up my spirit! 😍😍😍😍😍

[@johannschneider3832]

saw you guys live in Frankfurt some 30!! years ago. It never get's old. A classic

[@denfinch5694]

I have to admit to totally loving Spyro Gyra as my all-time favourite Fusion band from 1978! But when I first heard this track as recorded in the studio, l was absolutely bowled over and then l discovered they were Icelandic! Totally awesome and this performance is pretty wonderful in every way!!! XXXXX

[@jeanpierrevanhamme8224]

I am by God! Brings back nice memories and now I know Why I clicked with Smooth Jazz 101.9 in NYC as a Master so much. Never saw the Mezzoforte people before

[@soenkealbers8758]

groove total, herrlich

[@katarinapollakova28]

World best instrumental song !!!

[@davidsingh1816]

I have heard this song over the years but finally found out what it was called

[@copenhagenjazzfunkcollecti2082]

[@MarinoTarot]

I love you guys. And I love the 80ies. And I miss them!!!

[@OriginalKryschan]

Cool bassline classic... 🎶🎺🎷🎹

[@SouLoveReal]

Sounds like Earth, Wind, & Fire's "In The Stone." In fact, January 16, 2020, is the first time I heard it; it was being played on an Internet Soul Music station from England. In fact, that's what I thought it was (one of those yes-it-is-no-it's-not-yes-it-is songs).

[@londonukhm]

man, what a tune! you got to love it!

[@Ritmanto]

Saw them in Jakarta, 1993. Love their energy that I still recognize more than a quarter century after😍😍😍

[@surfninja8728]
