OMG! This was how music used to be played! By musicians who KNOW their stuff! I have often wondered what happened to Mezzoforte? Now I KNOW! Phew!! Thanks for this upload, Andrewboy!!
I have commented on this vid before but everytime I watch it I marvel at the genius of these guys. What brilliant musicians and they obviously love what they are doing. Just brilliant
Wow-yeah! These were the guys that got me into jazz funk and playing the bass. They sound better now then they did in the 80's!! How laid back does Johann Asmundsson look playing his bass? Steve Wright (DJ on Radio 1 then) used ‘Surprise’ as the background music for his program links in the early 80’s which is where I first heard it and got hooked on the music style.
Just got to appreciate thiz All these musicians on one platform playing together with all there divers backgrounds and schooling and hardships they went through just be on that stage together 1 word: AWESOME! Thanks. and Thank You. not even a CD and still sounds amazing if not better cause it live. :)
composition is not easy when I started to copy, so I got the chord F sharp minor, quite complex chord, and the keyboard solo was quite hard, but it was a copy
I watched them yesterday evening playing in Jaén (Andalusia, southern Spain). They're lovely because you notice they enjoy their work. They're very very very good!!!
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!

@Lupi78 Joi is in my opinion the best bass player of all time here in Iceland, I've had the pleasure of meeting him and even playing with him.... a true musician.

Brano Bellissimo!!
L'unica cosa che è uguale a quello inciso in "studio".
Dal vivo dovrebbe esserci un più po di inventiva, iniziativa, uscire dagli spartiti..
Comunque Brano Stupendo!!
