Mezzoforte are no longer just a group, they are an music institution now into their 41st year.

MEZZOFORTTEは、私がフュージョンに目覚めたきっかけのグループです！！　　今（令和４年）も聴いてます！　ガーデンパーティー…スプリングフィーバー…最高です🥰

[@teleespantoso]

Fantstic band, best in the world probably. Can't stop listening to Icebreaker. Thanks for this upload.

[@choqirn8365]

First time listened their compositions back on 80s. And still like their music. I hope they can perform again in Java Jazz someday.

[@laszlohorvath4216]

VERY GOOD!!!!!!!MEZZOFORTE FOR EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@absolutedrumsya]

Great to see this footage! An highly gifted musical assemblage of youngsters. Despite the awful soundboard recording, it's great to see their joy and to listen to some of their finest work of the 80's!

Ik kom jou ook overal tegen bij goede muziek ;-) Garden Party is lekker in deze set zeg!

[@absolutedrumsya]

@ Kijk eens aan! Inderdaad! Het is ook leuk om te horen hoezeer zij zich in deze video vasthouden aan het origineel en door de jaren heen hun muziek in een ander jasje hebben gestopt.

Is that Eric Marinthal on sax?

[@KevDaCosta]

Dave O Higgins

[@michaelosullivan9339]

Wow ..how did you know that

[@rollandmakinano1744]

@@michaelosullivan9339 I'm a saxophonist and a fan of Marinthal style, his solos are so melodic, and he can can bop with the best, a ka John Coltrane style.

[@andrejutel9110]

Dave O Higgins, was also in a band called Roadside Picnic who i think did 2 great albums on BMG. First was self titled and second was called For Mad Men Only

[@svein-torenarvestad1069]

Who is playing sax?

Неслабо

[@Elboy522]

god this soundboard recording is pretty awful. All you can hear is Bass, Sax, Toms, Hihat and the percussive loops

[@oriomenoni7651]

Still better than no video! There are not so many early Mezzoforte videos on the tube.

[@Elboy522]

@@oriomenoni7651 that's the truth! My dream is to see live footage of Mezzoforte right after Rising was released, but before No Limits

[@goodguy2627]

Mezzoforte deserves a better sound than this. This concert sounds like the sound engineer was in another room while mixing the band.

[@user-cp9jn3pm7m]

これほんとに　メゾフォルテ？　音はずれすぎ

[@Evertlabastida]

What's the name of the singer? awesome voice

[@roland8578]

Noel McCalla.... Very good singer....🙂👍 It's not Al Jarreau...

[@Evertlabastida]

Thank you my friend, I really love this song.. awesome talent and the rest of the band,
