I remember when I was 10 liked a lot to play mezzo when it was raining and just looking at the yard and enjoing cosiness. I listen this band so many years and still amazed, many thanks guys
From this small country you can import fish, broken banks, fashion or music. The worlds biggest small country has a large culture. And from my norwegian perspective it's a loud culture. Some of the worlds most innovative music have it's roots in Island. Mezzoforte has for almost 30 years been my my favorit import item. They opened my ears for alternative music. When Earth wind and fire lost some of theyr funk, Mezzoforte jazzzzed it up again. Great music from a very underrated group

I saw them in Glasgow in 1983 at a venue between Bath Street and Sauchiehall Street that was an old converted Church but whose name escapes me. OMG! It was brilliant. Never forgotten that magical music night from almost 40 years back.
I discovered Mezzoforte in the 80s, probably because of Garden Party. At that time Iceland was know for... not much. And I could hardly believe this warm and fresh sound was imported from there. When I see and listen to them now it brings back so many memories about my time as a teenager, my thoughts and plans and emotions and they are looking down on me like Mount Rushmore idols and say: where have you been all the time? Here is our funk again.
Wow. Just discovered them by accident when I stopped on the Dutch channel on my cable system where they were playing at some jazz festival. Googled them and was sad I had never heard of them before. Really great. Some jazz groups are boring to listen to long term but these guys are constantly entertaining. They all seem to be enjoying playing together. Wonderful discovery.
MEZZOFORTE IS THE BEST AROUND THE WORLD!!! I LOVE YOU, GUYS, I GREW UP WITH YOUR JAZZ!!! Please, make new concert with your hits like Plan B, Tom Jam Blah, 1812 Premature, Little Rock, Down Town. It's masterpieces of jazz-fusion!!!
Mezzoforte is fun(k)! One of my first CDs was Best Collection, an import CD from Japan. Must have been at the end of the eighties. In the summer of 2008 I visited a concert of Mezzoforte in Bad Mergentheim/Germany in front of Hotel Victoria. They just came on the podium one after another with some minutes interval and joined playing. The sound engineer was very busy with his mixing console. After ten minutes or so all were on the podium, the sound eingineer relaxed and the concert started. Highlight of the evening was the drummer playing bass guitar with his drum sticks.
Wonderful players all. But a special salute to Eythor, who in my opinion is still one of the world's most accomplished keyboardists and arrangers of this genre.
Their passion, love and commitment to their instruments and interplay still brings a smile upon my face! Great band! And we love the feminine expertise at the second part of the concert. Keep up the good work!
Not to forget the trombone in the horn section Karin Lammar. And guest trumpeter Joo Kraus who played the Garden Party solo 1:1 as originally recorded back in the eighties. As all the others as well, incredibly professional band, I'm fan from the first hours back then.
Hi. I agree. I love the band. You might also like our band. Hope it OK I write? We are deeply inspired by Mezzoforte. Listen if you like 😁 And if you sub....😍 we'll be so greatfull. Thanks - from bassplayer Mads P.

sympa, le problème avec le jazz "fusion", c'est que c'est répétitif, toujours le même tempo, pas de mélodies, de groove, d'arrangements... , en fait c'est une simple musique d'ambiance, rien de plus
Mezzoforte are so underrated... They are incredibly perfect!

@@slomar0503 Thank You!
Thanks so much ..that's.helping me find my favourite..
wow, Nils landgren (33.00) and Jonas Wall and Mezzoforte, all my favorites in one setting, wonderful!
The first band I ever saw live back in 1983 and 1983 at The Venue, Victoria, London. Still quality after all these years.

Followed this creative group back in the 90's. Now watching them on RUclips in my retirement. Doesn't get any better.

Love the drumming, and the bassplayer is just...fantastic! Thank you, Iceland! :-)
My favorite western jazz fusion band 👍
My feelgood music. Great band.. Gulli Briem is the most relaxed drummer I know. Love to see him play!

Excellent. Heard this performance on the radio. An extremely talented ensemble! Keep up the good work! Regards, Horatio Nelson.

God bless Iceland!
Kevin Bacon on the drums and Jean Claude Van Damme on the guitar
Or David Bowie on the drums :D
@@chrisschneider-saxophone2732 That's what i thought! XD
Haha
Eccezionali.
Hello what's the track name @ minute 53"
Thank you
joyride
ось коли хоча 50 % мешканців України будуть розуміти цю музику - можна на щось гарне сподіватись...
What the fu(n)k with this Icelandic band, a genuine musical ice-breaker! Viva Islandia!
Thats Karin hammar... Not Nils Landgren
Nils Landgren solos on EG Blues.
SPYROGIRA From IsLand
1:06:33 :DDDDDDDDDD So cute!!!
48:58 méditation
52:23 if u know u know
I like how they have fun when someone takes wrong note :) Wonderful band
..and Karin Hammer on trombone:)
Bowie is alive and plays drums!
Ojalá tuviera mas potencia en su mezcla, Mezzoforte!
I said that!!!! 59:00 :DDDDDDDDDDDDDD Dont believe this!! Wow!!!!
Asmundsson reminds me of the wild side of Abe Laboriel.
Better than the Rippingtons or Shakatak
sympa, le problème avec le jazz "fusion", c'est que c'est répétitif, toujours le même tempo, pas de mélodies, de groove, d'arrangements... , en fait c'est une simple musique d'ambiance, rien de plus
Today's music is so formulaic.........and shit boring............can we get back to this REAL music making ? ?
Unless Nils Landgren been through some major surgery lately, it is probably Karin Hammar on trombone and not Nils.... ;-)
aha ok, both are in the show... just that Karin didn't get any mentioning/credit.
Bedre gøres det ikke
I get it. You don’t take prisoners. Fair enough jeez! Can tou play better than that so we can faint?
За новый социализм! ✊ Вступайте в движение Н.Н.Платошкина! Иначе нам удачи не видать...
Lovely music :)
