Jazzfest Bonn 2019: Mezzoforte - Medley "A Blast From The Past"

Als 1983 der Song Garden Party um die Welt ging, waren die vier isländischen Jungs der Ursprungsbesetzung gerade volljährig. Der kommerzielle Erfolg kam damals total überraschend. Seither gilt Mezzoforte als die wichtigste Fusionband Europas, sie überzeugt ihre Fans mit künstlerisch-authentischem Ausdruck. 2012 feiert die Band ihr 35-jähriges Jubiläum, mit ihrer personellen Mischung aus Bandhistorie und frischem Blut schaffen die Musiker bekannte Spannungsfelder und neue Energien. Das Album Islands dokumentiert den musikalischen Reifeprozess der Band und fügt der Diskografie ein weiteres musikalisches Schmuckstück hinzu.
Eythor Gunnarsson - Keyboard
Jóhann Ásmundsson - Bass
Fridrik Karlsson - Gitarre
Jonas Wall - Saxophon
Ari Bragi Karason - Trompete, Flügelhorn
Gulli Briem - Schlagzeug

This Bass Man is incredible ... playing a full bass line AND slapping accents all the time without disturbing the flow of the music.. just great! Of course all others of the band play for the music as well. It's just awesome music, thanks for sharing!

This is the back bones of my music history. Funkadelic to you drop.
It's a fusion of Earth wind and fire, Chuck Mangione, Candi Dolfer and a Michael Jacson warning for things to come.
Heia Island from a devoted norwegian. You truly rock in music

В 70 в 80 эта музыка звучала в телеке на всех публицистических каналах в СССР ..как это было довно и классно ? Как сон , но Мецефортэ не сон .

I’ve seen Mezzoforte live twice this year, in Sa Coma (Mallorca, Spain) and in Düsseldorf (Germany). Always big fun and jazz rock funk fusion at it's best since the eightees. This medley consists of the three songs "Midnight Sun", "Spring Fever" and "Rockall."
