Mefisto (4)

Czech rock group. Established by saxophonist [a1585613] and pianist [a562470] in 1963, they were one of the first professional beat groups in Czechoslovakia, often copying the sound of [a170356]. In the mid-1960s they were regularly hired by [l21873] to back pop vocalists when a more contemporary rock sound (instead of a swinging big band) was required on records. Disbanded around 1970. Revived by [a1368460] in 1987 as a retro rock'n'roll band, actively performing and recording until his death in 2007.
