Part of my life carries Mezzo with me, they are now part of my lifes musics history, XX

[MrMarkhall1]

I mean which was nice.

[MrMarkhall1]

My friends Mum took me and him to see them live somewhere in central London, when I was about 10, we got invited back stage and I met David 'kid' Jensen. Witch was nice.

[WorldWideWish]

Saw them live in Amsterdam once. Hearing it again still puts a big smile on my face. love this!

[1959slavo]

Jazz Funky ,alebo ako sa nazýva druh tejto hudby, je mi vcelku jedno.Je to velice dobrá muzička a ak ma pamať neklame na Bratislavských diskotékach sa púšťala aj 2 - 3 krát za večer.Bola to bomba. Ahojte nostalgici.

[ThePampanyul]

It's the MUSIC!!!!

[TotalDesignZ]

Used to play this sound back in the days on my wonderful AR's  :)

[RosemaryDempsey]

This song has been running around in my head for many years. I knew the name of the song but couldn't remember the name of the artist/band. Thank you for a brilliant song. And thank you for posting on youtube. I never would have found it otherwise.

[wiganrlfcwigan]

Also longer version from the album 6 minutes 10 seconds

[wiganrlfcwigan]

This song reminds me of my younger years,when I was about 20.would put this tune in my all time top 10.(just bought it on iTunes,let's get it back in the charts ).

Gosh , such a long time since anything excellent came out of Iceland! ..... since 1983 and the wonderful Mezzoforte , only two natural disasters ... an ash plume and Bjork ........... :P

[dgunnar]

[andrum1]

[DJJonesSanchez]

[liv2rill]

Love it!

[ariesmp]

This is a wonderful piece of Jazz music

[henkiis]

Hey MezzoForte, last night I was playing poker with a few friends, we deciced to put this LP (surprise, surprise) on. Nobody knew what it was, actually we thought it might be metal or rock (since the cover had a demon, or something on a strange planet..), but I turned out to this easy jazz LP. haha we had a blast, we all liked this stuff. Great LP!

[simoesc]

fantastic tune!

reminds me when i was a teenager. Bought this LP, but it got lost... snif

[Uttrup123]

This is Scandinavias brasilians - from Iceland!? How can one live is such a cold a rough place and make warn party and long drink music of this kind? OUTSTANDING and absolutely awesome. Eythor Gunnarsson is one of the best funk keyboardist in time! I love you all!

[hiulva]

I love it



[Andrew4511]

I 1st heard this tune in the early 80's & loved till this day.

[0ConkersBadFurDay0]

I remember this - we were on our school trip to Austria, skiing. This was playing on the plane as we were boarding. What fantastic memories of that day and that holiday. I loved being a kid in the 80's.

[NeaFrea]

Fantastic!!!

[dunstun365]

I remember this in the top 40 in 1983. Never get anything like this in it now

[nanina127]

nechytate se nikdoo zabita skladba

[hebburnmag]

Sometimes a long forgotten song..tune or whatever comes back into your mind and when it does it brings back so many memories....this is it for me !!!! Its fantastic i love it and it reminds me of my youth growing up in the 80,s....Now i found it i,ll keep coming back to it again and again.

[bigonet1]

Simply the only one!

[1aonline]

one of the best happy-tunes you can listen to!

[mikeywoo1000]

I meant tune.

[mikeywoo1000]

[jimmieskaggs]

[pallipoppkorn]

mezzoforte is an icelandic band and i'm icelandic :)

[tazma96]

shit i had forgotten how hot this tune was oh happy memories

[SuperEvilduck]

omg so many memories coming back :,D

[MrRocamorra]

one of the best uplifting tunes.

[MultiTexasboy]

Great song. I took some friends to a Mezzoforte concert in Windsor, England. They just didn't get it. Bloody Philistines!!

[madtopp]

what a tune. i remember this being used from a tv show called the" friday night show" i think thats what it was called

[TotalDesignZ]

Man, this tune is brilliant. I used to have a pair of big ass AR speakers (BEFORE they fucked them up) with super crisp sound and I used to crank it up till where the music first really gets going. Man, it was sooo cool

[mikkisiili]

They are all great but do not forget Masayoshi Takanaka...

[seaboatsk]

Thank you for posting the movie. I am a Japanese fan of the band. I have grown up with Mezzoforte and Casiopea. In my personal view, Mezzorote's songs are more melodious than Casiopea's ones many of which feature technical aspects. I love both!

[Stimonater]

lovin' it

[SolidSnake311]

They are like a mix of Casiopea and Level 42

[bububuvard]

Damn and I thought I was the only one who liked casiopea!

[bububuvard]

@SolidSnake311

Awesome comment

[miskamokus]

hall of fame

[danibueno1004]

La primera vez que la escuché fué en la radio y la usaban como sintonía (Música de fondo) pero no pasaba inadvertida, ya que es muy buena

[SuperGabriellee]

...Hm it was favourite time.. :)

[ZINCOVIX]

great little tune and vid cheers for this

[Tvretromagazin]

Imádom! Mindig egy hajnali taxizás és a Vidámpark ugrik be, ha hallom. :)

[Posthuman2003]

[chao4364]

[Ulenspiegel63]

Das Beste! Großartig!

[SteinarAP]

FANTASTISKT! :D

[KakamannToto]

[goodfellas63]

[DESMYTTER]

Bonjour ! I've never seen this VERY RARE video !!! Thanks ! Alain

[ballademaker]

one word for this awsome good song , will be listen to for many years to come great work of mezzoforte

[RoW2606]

How can a couple of Icelandic guys create such a funky song? One of the pleasant surprises of the 80s

[bodies30s]

This brings back memories. Love it. Thanks for posting

[mezzoforte93]

thanks for watching guyz... :) hope youtube will not remove this vid,... :)

[lawlawvideoniyo]

i was 16 years old the last thing i heard this one!!! thanks for uploading!!!

[expressflyer]

I know I should not swear but it's fucking mint.. Sorry

[lorret90]

i never get tired of listening to this superb timeless classic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sydneynorgren]

I was a keen young 15yo guitarist in the early 1980's when i first heard this piece...it was like a bolt of lightning, so vibrant and instrumentally complex. At the time all the other kids were listening to the top 40 stuff at the time and I was getting into Mezzoforte, George Benson, santana and local Aussie bands. Fantastic!

[asd36f]

@sydneynorgren,

I agree with you - this piece was so different to everything else at the time. "Garden Party" made it into the lower reaches of the Australian Top 40 chart in September 1983. I bought a copy of the 45 single for about 50 cents at a second hand store in Sydney a couple of years later.

[80musiclover]

the 80s was my 20 to 30 period and i listend to these guys .shakatak .level 42 and many others this decade was the highlight of my life miss the so much.But songs like this just help keep it all alive cheers for posting.

[lilmisspino]

Such a smoooooove record. More happy memories of growing up during the 80's. Love it to pieces. Nice one!

[BaddaBigBoom]

Ahhhh! :-) Another fine Icelandic band.

Mikill !

[wheeldeal1066]

This song is a true piece of musical art. Thanks for the posting

[seaboatsk]

Thank you so much for posting the video. I have been a fan of Mezzoforte since 1982. I am so happy that the band is still active. My dream is to view a joint live performance between Mezzoforte and Casiopea. Casiopea is a Japanese jazz/funk band and has been popular globally.

[mizzq62]

Love Mezzoforte!!! Saw them live years ago when this was in the UK charts as a single. Definatley takes me back to my youth! If you like this sort of music, check out Matt Bianco...they are brilliant too!

[lawnmowerpower]

Man, i can't find ANY other songs than Garden Party on LimeWire :( I want the songs i heard on a DVD-Consert of them playing in Reykjavik :)

[mezzoforte93]

Yeee!!! GOing up to 100,000 Views!!! Thank you guyz...

[MysteriousPavel]

Mezzoforte was my first CD (Surprise reprise). This was around 1992. What is crazy? I have CD player from 1994. Two years I waiting, thereafter enjoying this amazing song.

[FrDue]

@mezzoforte93 so niiiiiiiiice !! Love it !

[anwollan]

Omg...havent heard this one in many years. Awesome :)

[krissa9]

in which famous movie from the 80's or early 90's was this song played? Can't remember it. Great song, makes you feel good:)

[IAmTheSecretOfMana]

This song... My Father used to listen to this ALL the time, it was his favourite song. He's been gone for littler over a month now, Listening to this, helps me honour his life, and memory....

God... This song is a wonderful creation

[kinmanyuen]

Relaxin music... smooth jazz

[Balli270]

haha i have always loved that song xd u always start to move along lol

[mezzoforte93]

i totally appreciate the old songs than the new ones that influences the teens today, which contains bad or inapropriate words.

Many of my classmates told me that why am i listening to this kind of music, i told them also, why do you also listen to that kind of music??? They didnt answer.... ^_^

[eab67]

excellent track best fusion i have ever heard music never sounded so good where did that era of music disappear to

[canzo09]

brilliant indeed, to hear some banging mezzoforte get yourself to the lock. short sleeved shirts, moveable rounds, calvinists, and mystifying pork!

[david943uk]

Just beautfitul. Tuesday's at Lock 27, bliss. God bless you Sandy

[Dezzer77]

How brill is this? Absolutely love it!

[blitzebill]

yeah this music from the 80s alright. sounds like a cross between chuck mangione, herb alpert, hugh masekela, smooth jazz...mindless, catchy stuff

[barrett5000]

super musicians. All of them.

[teljesenmind1]

excellent

[midlander07]

Icejake - have you any idea why Mezzoforte seem to play just in Iceland now?

I got to see them in Northampton U K many years ago & they were just out of this world! I thought I would get to see them again but it seems not to be! Thanks so much for posting this - Don't know of another group with such a great sound.

[huggybear271]

always reminds me of icognito(jazz funk,album)

[gqmfsb]

what are the band doing these days? would put some modern day bands to shame.

[icejake]

they are still going, saw them just a few weeks ago here in Iceland... and man i have never seen such musicianship, they were just awesome

[iketheman]

still great man!

[icejake]

jansonic66, don't know where u get that from, this song was written by Eyþór Gunnarsson from Mezzoforte and originaly from they're 1983 album Surprise,Surprise, this is and original Mezzoforte song

[simonj50]

Terrific Jazz Funk. Great memories.

[coccodel]

Fantastic band !!!

[Rapidfashion4]

I love that Rhodes with chorus , and the analog pad-synth i the opening.

[GAZZA251170]

Oh this tune reminds me of going to an audition for "The Schools week of dance" just because it was during my Maths class (I hated Maths).Thing is I got picked!!! & ended up performing a football themed dance to this for a whole 2 weeks at a theatre!!! (at least I missed another 2 weeks of maths.

[jansonic66]

This song was originally recoreded by Herb Alpert and released on his album Blown Your Own Horn back in 1983. Check the original and listen to that phenomenal bass line by Nathan East!

[scidmann]

Mezzoforte's official website says this tune was recorded in July-August *1982* in London. Yes, I love the Herb Alpert's too.

[egorn1971]

@jansonic66 this is the original, check your information.

[brfc90]

this is the best jazzfunk instumentle ever!

[mezzoforte93]

thanks

[koekeboekoe]

Thx for the good memories...
