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
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
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.
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! 😃
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.
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. 😊
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
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...
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.
Still unique and amazing almost 40 years later! How on earth could something so heart touching and warm come from somewhere like Iceland? ☺ Mindblowing!
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 UA-cam (which is awesome by the way). Time to go....I was invited to a "Garden Party".
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!!!
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.
@@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...
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.
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.
Ohhh Yesssss!! A Masterpiece of a Jazz Funk Instrumental. I Used to Talk over this as my Intro. on my Disco events. Cue Packed Dance floor! This is So SPECIAL!
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! ❤️
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.
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 :-)
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
These guys are bad ass!!! Absolutely love them and they’re so cool when they play and they all smile while they’re playing. Love them! #Mezzoforte #GardenParty #greatjazzmusic
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¡¡¡¡
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
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
I loved this when it first came out I have loved it for years STILL LOVING IT IN 2020 MEGA MEZZO👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤪😀😀 I was all into Jazz Funk back in the 80's and also DJ' ing the night clubs playing this and they LOVED IT! UPDATE! IN 2023 I have started SAX lessons!!
Trascinante... meraviglioso.... Sempre simpatici, bravissimi e sorridenti!! Mi chiedono cosa ascolto tutti i giorni. Ma...... I MEZZOFORTE!!! 😁 🥰 Cucino e...ballo! ahahah

lekker by die see! Love this band!
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
They have to play hot music. In that cold weather, at least the music should be hot. :D
Brings back memories from long ago
The sound of my younger years, damned the eighties were just the best!
Where getting old
...Good day, The 70's weren't bad either...
Best music against depressions🚀🧨

È che pensavamo tutti che sarebbe stato sempre così e forse anche migliore.....invece i soldi hanno rovinato tutto.
As long as the Earth exists, this song will survive!
who else is listening to this beautiful music in 2020?
I listened then and now! They were popular also in Norway, and we were so proud of them being Scandinavian! 👍
I do. within an youtube-evening with Stevie Wonder, Earth Wind & Fire, Shakatak and others. great song!
Elmar Rümler 👍 yes, really hot stuff! 🇳🇴
Me.. October 2020
Me too 😍
This song should become a world heritage site! With which other song do you start bobbing and rocking? Peace to EVERYONE!
this was in the charts on saturday 19 march 1983

Liar, you fuckers were in our waters
awesome...................
This song was airplayed on a local radio station in the 80's. Good memories.
I remember this song from my childhood.... and listening to it again today... well... a FLY came into my eyes. :D NICE!
l love Mezzoforte.... great memories listening to your music since the mid 80s...
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. 😊
I heard Mezzoforte in the 80s and by goodness they are brillant ;
Im listening and loving it in 2023
Never saw this live version before
Wow!!
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!
Dieser Titel würde auch heute noch jede Party in Stimmung bringen. Einfach fantastisch🎉
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.
Thank you Àngel Casas for bringing Mezzoforte to your show for TV3 in 85… best show ever.
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
Very nostalgic, rip my father, one of favorite his song, every listen to this song😢

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...
Amazing! You can see the passion of the music in all of their faces!
A perfect piece of jazz ... funky bass grooves, excellent brass, drumms ... everything! Wakes up dead!
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.
This takes me back to the 80’s. Saw them at Sheffield Poly. Anyone else?
Still unique and amazing almost 40 years later! How on earth could something so heart touching and warm come from somewhere like Iceland? ☺ Mindblowing!
The Energic of life , resources from Jazz improvitations as like as MEZZOFORTE...
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!!

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!!!.
Yes mate they are just awesome 😎 bring this vibe ON 😉 😊
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.
My childhood has come crashing by to say hello .Thank you Mezzoforte ❤
I can't get enough of seeing and hearing this bass player, just incredibly good...!!!
Mágia varázslat és csoda köszönöm tehehetséges zenészbarátaim thanka
Sorry THANKS!!!VERY THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pure joy. Could watch this a million times and still be not bored. Euphoric music!
I'm shocked! How could you not have heard of them? Your biggest international band before The Sugar Cubes! But pleased you found them.
Such sunshine music in Iceland!
Good that you've finally found them! I live way down south in Indonesia and have been enjoying their music since 1984!
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.
Had the pleasure of seeing and meeting them in I think 1983.Great gig.Thanks.....
groove total, herrlich
Propper music... absolutely love this.... always have
saw you guys live in Frankfurt some 30!! years ago. It never get's old. A classic
Einfach Kult, aus den 80ern, zeitlos und herrlich.
Das instrumental Lied dass die Radiosender kurz vor den Nachrichten spielen um die Zeit zu überbrücken!!! Ich liebe es!!! ❤❤❤
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.
Saw them in Jakarta, 1993. Love their energy that I still recognize more than a quarter century after😍😍😍
Ohhh Yesssss!! A Masterpiece of a Jazz Funk Instrumental.
I Used to Talk over this as my Intro. on my Disco events. Cue Packed Dance floor! This is So SPECIAL!
Shakatak and Mezzoforte. The two great instrumental groups of the 80s.
@Funk O'Matic hi there
@Funk O'Matic hi there everyone
Spira gyra ?
Shakatak aint instrumental, I saw them in Japan and the UK, listen to night birds...
Don't forget Casiopea!!
Absolutely fantastic to hear this live version of this masterpiece.

Awesome Mezzoforte, they are so talented. Loved the 80’s, it was the best era for music by a country mile.
Naaaaaah my childhood is back!
The most masterful instrumental composition👍👌🤗...
man, what a tune! you got to love it!
Imádom..mindig boldog és jó kedvű leszek ha ezt hallgatom.. :)

Carnt believe Kevin Bacon is playing the drum for this group, excellent 👌
Legend!
May look a bit like him but the drummers name is Gunnlaugur Briem, he has played in Mezzoforte sin's the 70ties.
Enfin ma trouve ali languet 🇷🇪🔥
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
Great band. Come to California, get the right booking, and I guaranteed that you will be loved !
These guys are bad ass!!! Absolutely love them and they’re so cool when they play and they all smile while they’re playing. Love them! #Mezzoforte #GardenParty #greatjazzmusic

OMG listening digitally compared to my old Amstrad turntable.... incredible! So much joy on that stage but the Percussionist during his solo😂
me encantaba grabaros a los dos en mis cintas de metal para el coche, en los 80
My kind of party! These guys can sure play live. And they gel together so well. 🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤

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.
Have always and will always love this number. Used to dance at local disco to this wonderful music. Thank you for sharing. What a talent
Picadilly ke hihi

Loved this tune when I first heard it .Brought up on Earth wind and fire and the Whispers but this is a special tune.
Garden Party - One of my all time favourites!
If you see their musical notes, this is truly a masterpiece. The number of instruments that’s involved is crazy for one set piece!
