An incredible four decades have passed since the unknown Icelandic fusion band Mezzoforte released their biggest hit Garden Party. The sunlit, captivating melody didn't even come from an inhospitable Nordic island, and their recordings and concerts began to attract the attention of fans all over the world. Mezzoforte have become synonymous with joyful, melodic, but at the same time predatory, virtuosic and exciting jazz-funk, which will certainly not let the listener sit down. The current line-up consists of three founding members (keyboard player Eythor Gunnarsson, guitarist Fridrik Karlsson, bassist Johann Asmundsson) along with three guests. Among them is Slovak drummer Martin Valihora, who recently replaced another of the long-term members, drummer Gulli Briem. Mezzoforte released fourteen albums, on which several renowned artists appeared, and their concerts are still a joyous and sunlit summer celebration.
