Mezzoforte - Garden Party

[@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!

[@MrHklarsen]

I've been on several conserts wih them, both indoor and outdoor here in Oslo Norway. They are just great today as they were in late 70's

[@andrasdecsi-kiss6619]

They have to play hot music. In that cold weather, at least the music should be hot. :D

[@charlottegissingisraelsen1301]

Havde glemt Mezzoforte og det her fantastisk musiknummer. Var ca. 17 år da jeg lavede rytmisk gymnastik til det. Så fantastisk. Hilsen fra Danmark ❤❤❤ Nu skriver vi 2025❤

[@angeliquewennekes6844]

Brings back memories from long ago

[@londonukhm]

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

[@kaarsgaarn]

Where getting old

[@jan-willemreens9010]

...Good day, The 70's weren't bad either...

[@sorincaiushaller7602]

Best music against depressions🚀🧨

[@samoyo7054]

[@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.

[@herasjulian]

❤yo también la disfruté. Está musica sólo la detectamos LOS PRIVILEGIADOS....❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😅Entonces teníamos VEINTITANTOS años...hoy SESENTA....Y TANTOS

[@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! 😃

[@fabiopecci1777]

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

[@slaszlo9088]

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

[@PaulBinns-pl9se]

One of the best instrmentals of all time as far as I'm concerned. From the Jazz Funk era of the nineteen eighties by this Icelandic band. Even though they tried to steal our fish in English waters.

[@simonbreki295]

Liar, you fuckers were in our waters

[@patrickbone6171]

Im listening and loving it in 2023 Never saw this live version before Wow!!

[@gilwright9472]

Brilliant.....no pro tools no auto tune....just pure talent and years of craft perfection...love it

[@GG-zg5mx]

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

[@jeffreyhamid]

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

[@moanna974]

Dieser Titel würde auch heute noch jede Party in Stimmung bringen. Einfach fantastisch🎉

[@ukbusiness8811]

Sweet memories summer in London 80s vibes 💯🤌🏽

[@MrDavidvisagie]

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

[@herunowo6638]

Very nostalgic, rip my father, one of favorite his song, every listen to this song😢

[@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! 🇳🇴

[@ramsonpiter8225]

[@georgewelsh6702]

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

[@augerontgen8240]

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

[@jwoolridge]

These guys are damn good! Bad asses on every instrument they play, and they're so cool and calm when they play. Love ❤ this! And they're from Iceland. 😊

[@2ndlooks]

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

[@paulbinns132]

Love this record from the only Icelandic band I know. Brings back great memories of the Jazz funk phase in the early eighties. WOW WOW WOW. Superb.

[@azhari9898]

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

[@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

[@UlrikeHarperscheidt-c1t]

Das instrumental Lied dass die Radiosender kurz vor den Nachrichten spielen um die Zeit zu überbrücken!!! Ich liebe es!!! ❤❤❤

[@rhondawilliams3815]

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

[@reinhardlanker3671]

Come on Rhonda, dance with me!

[@frankfrank392]

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

[@rph10uk]

This takes me back to the 80’s. Saw them at Sheffield Poly. Anyone else?

[@macvaine]

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

[@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!

[@joseantoniomiranda2979]

This is a great smooth Jazz, remind me Spyro Gyra in USA and Casiopea in Japan is an excellent group from Iceland congratulations to all of them!!!.

[@millanges]

Я слушаю из 2024. Восхитительно!

[@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 ?

[@Luciano123-s7r]

Shakatak aint instrumental, I saw them in Japan and the UK, listen to night birds...

[@funniecheeseman]

Don't forget Casiopea!!

[@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.

[@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".

[@TheSpookyDuke]

Fantastic! 80s forever!

[@jonnyfw4803]

My childhood has come crashing by to say hello .Thank you Mezzoforte ❤

[@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...

[@benthead]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@MasterStanNL]

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

[@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.

[@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...

[@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.

[@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!!!

[@brandopiansay9557]

One of my favorite fussion band.

[@laurensdaughter]

Propper music... absolutely love this.... always have

[@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! ❤️

[@GaryMiller-b6i]

Yes mate they are just awesome 😎 bring this vibe ON 😉 😊

[@vladimirlukco1749]

The most masterful instrumental composition👍👌🤗...

[@spookycellar]

I can't get enough of seeing and hearing this bass player, just incredibly good...!!!

[@jimstevens1487]

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

[@MrPete1966]

First heard this on my favourite FM radio station of the time, and I've loved it ever since! This live version really brings it alive! LOVE IT!!

[@7storeysoul682]

Pure joy. Could watch this a million times and still be not bored. Euphoric music!

[@antogarcia5207]

[@johannschneider3832]

[@davidgomezmule8064]

Desde que la escuché por primera vez en el 83 , yo tenia 10 años fue mi canción preferida. No puede faltar en ninguna fiesta, por eso se lla la fiesta del jardín

[@Ritmanto]

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

[@Freedom-sm8ep]

[@chrispursall5258]

Absolutely fantastic to hear this live version of this masterpiece.

[@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

[@emiliojoselopeznieto1065]

Ya sé que llego tarde, pero esta canción es un bálsamo para el alma. ¡Gracias por esto!

[@gabeadjetey2628]

Absolute Jammer! Never gets old!

[@soenkealbers8758]

[@albertlane3655]

I remember this song along with "all night long" by Lionel Richy during those nights at the disco in Marbella (Spain) in 1983, What a nights¡¡¡¡¡¡ Maravillosas¡¡¡¡

[@luec1000]

[@sutyi111]

Imádom..mindig boldog és jó kedvű leszek ha ezt hallgatom.. :)

[@csabareznek]

Valamikor a 80-as évek végén, 90-es évek elején, amikor "teenagger" voltam, a vidéki kisvárosban, ahol felnőttem, mindíg ez a szám volt az, ami a disco aznapi végét jelentette :-)Ekkor szomorúak lettünk :-)

[@lindagraham624]

Proud to say been fan since early 80’s. Went to see them in Glasgow at old church which was on Pitt Street and used to be a club. Sadly now gone. They were awesome.

[@bogdan.ivan.]

They make it look so easy to play an instrument. Love them!

[@georgeyoung8723]

OMG listening digitally compared to my old Amstrad turntable.... incredible! So much joy on that stage but the Percussionist during his solo😂

[@riopermadi1966]

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

[@nancypoerschke2]

They seems to have so much fun, nice to see. Love this music. ❤️

[@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.

[@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

[@BurkhardTerhart]

Garden Party - One of my all time favourites!

[@isabelmenendez6474]

I love this music!!. It's my favorite!!. Thanks for making me feel happy, for so many years!!.
