Mezzoforte are an Icelandic Jazz-Funk Fusion ensemble. They shot to the world’s attention in 1983 with Garden Party from the Surprise Surprise LP. They are still performing in 2004 with the original lineup.
The band members are:
Eythor Gunnarsson - Keyboards|Fridrik Karlsson - Guitars|Gunnlaugur Briem - Drums|Johann Asmundsson - Bass|Kristinn Svavarsson - Saxophones
They awoke many musicians, as well as united them in the lyrics from Garden Party that evoked images of the iconic demise of The Beatles and included bold, yet humorous sarcastic references to differentials in time/space to polarites such as Rick Nelson and John Lennon. |
