Newer fans beware....By JTull0FanI was looking forward to this book, which was delayed many times over the last couple of years, that probably made it more imperative that I finally get it. Telling a Tull fan that something new is out there but they can't have it is a brutal torture.....When it finally arrived in early Oct. I dug right in. I was very happy with the amount of interviews the author was able to include. I do love reading (and listening) to the first hand accounts of The Blades and The John Evan Band and the early tales of Tull by ex-band members. That said, when the author began filling in the blanks between interviews I began recognizing his quoting (word for word) from "The Story of Jethro Tull" a radio show done with Ian Anderson and Terry Ellis in 1975. I have the very popular "underground" recording and started checking it against what I was reading. It was word for word. Apparently he thought it was done so long ago no one would notice. I'm not too concerned with the fact that he "borrowed" from this, un-acknowledged by-the-way, but I was very disappointed that I was not learning anything new!Once he started straying from the radio show many of the authors facts were just downright wrong. Once his "facts" were at direct opposition to something stated by a band member in interview on the same page. The author states that in 1969, while in LA, the band records Living in the Past. Then 2 paragraphs later Glenn Cornick, quoting from a diary, recounts recording Living In the Past in W. Orange, New Jersey, which in fact it was, and was very easy for him to have checked. At another point he informs the reader that John Goodier (Andersons current Bass Player) is the permanent replacement for Andy Giddings (Tulls former Keyboard player). John O'Hara (Current keyboards) replaced Jon Noyce (Tulls ex Bass player) these are just careless mistakes that any good read over would reveal.Another: Tull-A-Vision was the name of the big sceen used during the 1976 Stadium tours NOT the 1978 Madison Square Garden world wide satellite television broadcast.Confusion continued in the 5 pages covering the 3 (Some might say moderately important) albums Songs from the Wood77, Heavy Horses78 and Stormwatch79, not a 5 page period of time. During the Stormwatch tour, in 1979, Dave Pegg comes on board to play bass, his story is told one chapter later during the recording of A in 1980. If I didn't know better I would have a completely wrong idea as to what happened there.Mr. Rabey did not seem too interested in some of the 80s releases either, as say, the Broadsword and the Beast "review" was a scant six line paragraph. Why bother touching on the album at all? I thought there was some very notable things that happened with the band at that point in time......not mentioned at all. These are just a few of many more notable boners.His quoting from the "Story of Jethro Tull" radio show from 75, continued throughout the book. I was very happy to get into the Ian Anderson interview section (the second half of the book) and this was done in and around the time of the release of The Secret Language of Birds, and its then clear that Ian was not much interested in and did not participate in the telling of the early history of the band for this book.So over all I would say to those fans that have not read much of anything about Tull before "Stick to the interviews in this book" The rest is unreliable. 3 stars for the amount of interviews contained (Mainly John Evan, Glenn Cornick, Martin Barre and then later years with Ian Anderson) as they are the books' saving grace. After a second read I removed one star....JTULL0FAN1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Whether Thick as a Brick or Passion Play for better or worse he shouldered the blameBy RalfonsoIan Anderson is Jethro Tull.He wrote all the songs (well 99%) and it was his vision that was carried forward.Whether Thick as a Brick or PassionPlay for better or worse he shouldered the blame,credit.Many fine players went thru the ranks down the years and are given equal time toadvance the narrative.One is surprised by the fact that Anderson is pretty much lauded by his former bandmates and feels a responsibiltythat they share in distributions of royalties.Tull is on hiatus currently but Anderson has a touring group carrying on.Hopefully he will rejoin withMartin Barre his guitarist thru the years soon.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. In-Depth Jethro TullBy thehimilerI have long been a fan of Jethro Tull, but knew very little about the band's background, members, etc. This is a good book and very informative. I read it very attentively. I did think that it got drier at the end when it was 'Ian Anderson's Thoughts', but overall a great source of info for the Tull fan. In the summer of 1972 Jethro Tull hit the dizzy heights of number one in the Billboard album charts, and thus could lay claim to being the world's biggest band at the time, with Thick As A Brick. They repeated the feat the next year with A Passion Play and have sold over 60 million albums to date.Considering just how big this group is (they are still going to this day, of course) there is surprisingly little written about them - only a couple of books, which is scandalous when you consider how many books have been written about their contemporaries .This book is a gem containing interviews with band members such as Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond, John Evans, Martin Barre and… of course Ian Anderson. In fact, this book may well contain the longest interview Anderson has ever given. Biographer Brian Rabey and Anderson really hit it off, possibly because Brian helped the latter recover his beloved harmonica which was stolen backstage - something Anderson never forgot.Brian was given access all areas and used this wisely. Via new interviews he traces the history of a band which started life as the Blades, briefly included Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi (his plastic finger tips grafted on after an accident didn't lend themselves to playing Tull's subtle music!), and went on to become Prog Rock royalty (or Elizabethan Rock as they were sometimes dubbed!), but constantly re-invented itself with new personnel and styles. Due to Brian's contact book there are also quotes from contemporaries such as Greg Lake and John Wetton, which really helps to put things in context. Another really appealing aspect of the book is that it looks at the landscape of the times - for example, the flat Tull lived in during the 1960s would be regarded as unfit for human habitation today. A final nice touch is that several band members have sent photographs from their personal collections making this a unique book.

VÖ-Datum: 25.10.2013 Mit dem charismatischen Flötisten Ian Anderson als Frontmann sind JETHRO TULL bis heute eine Ausnahme- Erscheinung in der Rockszene. Nach recht bluesigen Anfängen in der Gründungsphase um 1968, als JETHRO TULL aus der John Evan Band und McGregor’s Engine hervorgegangen waren, entwickelten sie sich sehr schnell zu einer originellen Progressive-Rockband, die sich ganz selbstverständlich zwischen klassischen Einflüssen, Folk und Hardrock bewegte. Seit ihrem ersten Auftritt im Londoner Marquee-Club entstanden 30 Studio- und Live-Alben, die sich weltweit 60 Millionen Mal verkauften. JETHRO TULL tourten durch 54 Länder in aller Welt und gelten bis heute als einzige Rockband, die eine Querflöte als stilprägendes Element besitzt. Nach Thick As A Brick erscheint nun das 1970er Album Benefit in der Collector’s Edition mit zusätzlichen raren Tracks, Single-Versionen und Radiomitschnitten. Nachdem JETHRO TULL im Jahre 1969 drei US-Tourneen durchgezogen hatten, die für ihren Durchbruch jenseits des Atlantiks sorgten, gingen Ian Anderson, Martin Barre, Clive Bunker, Glenn Cornick und John Evan mit Producer Terry Ellis im Dezember 1969 und Januar 1970 ins Studio, um ihr drittes Album Benefit aufzunehmen, das sich rockiger denn je gab. Es erreichte Platz 3 in England und Platz 7 in den USA und führte JETHRO TULL auf das Isle of Wight-Festival, wo die Band vor mehr als einer halben Million Menschen auftrat.

    JETHRO TULL Aqualung

    im Auftrag: medienAgentur Stefan Michel T 040-5149 1467 F 040-5149 1465 [email protected] JETHRO TULL Aqualung The 45th Anniversary Edition Repack Das vierte JETHRO TULL-Album in der überarbeiteten Jubiläumsedition auf 2 CDs/2DVDs mit zusätzlichen Songs, der EP Life Is A Long Song, einem Promo- Video von 1971 und allen Tracks in mehreren audiophilen Formaten! VÖ: 22. April! Ein geifernder alter Mann mit langen Haaren und in einem verdreckten Mantel steht an einer Straßenecke und sieht JETHRO TULL-Frontmann Ian Anderson erstaunlich ähnlich. Auf ihrem vierten Album bewiesen JETHRO TULL nicht nur einen kritischen Blick auf die Menschen, die Religion und andere fundamentale Themen, sie ließen mit dem legendären Cover durchaus auch ihren Sinn für Humor und Ironie durchblicken. Im März 1971 erschien Aqualung, eines der besten und legendärsten Alben der TULL, das sich über 7 Millionen Mal verkaufte und in Deutschland seinerzeit Platz 5 der Albumcharts erreichte. Neben dem Titelsong findet man auf dem Album auch die Single Hymn 43 und den Track Locomotive Breath, der zu den größten Erfolgen der Band zählt. Oftmals als „Konzeptalbum“ eingeschätzt (dem die Band selbst stets widersprach) bildete Aqualung den Übergang vom Song-orientierten Benefit zu den Prog-Rockigen Alben Thick as A Brick (1972) und A Passion Play (1973). Tatsächlich besitzen die Songs auf Aqualung einen thematischen Zusammenhang und weisen diverse interreferenzielle Bezüge auf. Es ist das erste Album mit Bassist Jeffrey Hammond und Keyboarder John Evan als festes Mitglied sowie das letzte JETHRO TULL- Album mit Drummer Clive Bunker. Produziert wurde es von Sänger und Flötist Ian Anderson und Terry Ellis.

    Hi Marc, This Is Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull. Q

    IA: Hello, Marc Allan please. Q: This is Marc. IA: Hi Marc, this is Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull. Q: Hi Ian, how are you? IA: I'm very well, I've just been speaking repeatedly to a young lady, I mean quite a young lady from apparently on a phone number that's calling for the last 10 minutes. (laughs) Q: Oh wow. IA: And finally had to explain what I was trying to do and that her mom looked up your telephone number and I'd got the, well, whoever gave me the phone number had got it wrong. So somewhere out there in a suburb not too far from you is a young lady who is very bemused by the fact that some strange English person from a rock band called Jethro Tull, which she'd obviously never heard, (laughs) trying to reach her to talk to her about our forthcoming tour. Q: Gee, would've been kind of exciting if you had reached a fan, you know, and then somebody was really thrilled and kept you on the phone. IA: Actually, I think the girl had heard of us, but when she said to her mom, she said, "What's that, a delivery service?" (laughs) 'Cause I thought it was gonna be like she was gonna get through to her mom, I said mom, Mom said, "What, let me speak to him." But no, Mom hadn't heard of us but little girly had, maybe little girly wasn't so little but she was, you know, we're talking teenage.

    Ve Vášni Jednotni

    Ve vášni jednotní - V Pašijové hře spojeni Issue no: 420 NOVEMBER 2013 Při příležitosti čtyřicátého výročí velmi kritizovaného alba A Passion Play a jeho neuskutečněného předchůdce z Château d´Hérouville vyprávějí členové sestavy Jethro Tull z roku 1973 - (a samé ucho je) Martin Webb - o tom, jak skupina přežila sérii katastrof, aby vyprodukovala hudbu, která byla podstatně lepší, než jak vyzněla odezva kritiků na ni. A jaký je šokující názor Iana Andersona na desku? Čtěte dál … Pašijově-vášnivý překlad: Libor Mysliveček Laskavé svolení: pan Martin Webb 1 V roce 1972 se Jethro Tull vezli na vlně vysoké popularity, když vyprodali obrovské haly v důsledku úspěchu jejich kritikou vychvalovaného, vrcholu dosáhnuvšího pátého alba Thick As A Brick. Otázkou bylo, co bude následovat po koncepčním albu, které obsahovalo jediný, čtyřiceti čtyřminutový hudební opus? Odpověď zněla – samozřejmě dvojalbum samostatných písní. Poprvé v jejich pětileté kariéře přišli Jethro Tull do studia v nezměněné sestavě. Zakládající člen a nesporně vůdčí osobnost Ian Anderson stále psal písně s flétnou a akustickou kytarou – plus nyní se saxofonem, k němu se znovu připojili kytarista Martin Barre, baskytarista Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond, bubeník Barrie Barlow a hráč na klávesové nástroje John Evans. Jaké studio ale použít? Evans, Anderson, Barre, Barlow, Hammond-Hammond Prvním kritériem bylo, že musí být v cizině. V roce 1972 byla Velká Británie tím, co Ian Anderson popisuje jako „pěkně děsivý daňový systém.“ Sazba daně pro příjem získaný výrobní činností byla pro vysoko příjmové skupiny až 83 %, zatímco sazba pro příjem získaný nevýrobní činností mohla být až k 98 %. „Bylo to opravdu kruté,“ vzpomíná Ian. „Bylo to příliš i pro průměrného levicově zaměřeného člověka.

  • Jethro Tull – Aqualung (Reissue, 40Th Anniversary Adapted Edition)

    Jethro Tull – Aqualung (Reissue, 40Th Anniversary Adapted Edition)

    Jethro Tull – Aqualung (Reissue, 40th Anniversary Adapted Edition) (2CD/2DVD, Medienbuch, Chrysalis Records/Warner Music, 1971/2016) Tusch und Vorhang auf für die nächste Veröffentlichung im Zuge der famosen und vermutlich endgültigen Reissue-Reihe klassischer Jethro- Tull-Alben als Medienbücher, unter anderem mit kompletten Remix-Versionen von Steven Wilson. Ein Rückblick: Bisher verlief das Ganze wunderbar chronologisch geordnet, analog zur Reihenfolge der einstigen Erstveröffentlichungen: Auf „Thick as a Brick“ (von 1972) folgten „A Passion Play“ (1973), „Warchild“ (1974), „Minstrel in the Gallery“ (1975) und zuletzt „Too Old to Rock ’n’ Roll: Too Young to Die!“ (1976). Der rezensierende Tull-Junkie rieb die Hände und leckte sich voller Vorfreude die Lippen: Jetzt also müsste – endlich! – mit „Songs from the Wood“ der Auftakt zur heiß ersehnten frisch aufgebrezelten Feld-, Wald- und Wiesen-Trilogie kommen, zu der auch „Heavy Horses“ und „Stormwatch“ zählen. Zu jenen drei Alben also, auf denen Ian Anderson Ende der Siebzigerjahre Folk, Rock und eine genau richtige Prise Prog aufs Allerfeinste und bis heute unerreicht gut miteinander vermengte. Merke: Die Tullies warendie Folkrock-Band schlechthin. Aber ach, was schneit stattdessen ins Haus? „Aqualung“. Nochmal. Schon wieder! Und nur in Nuancen anders bestückt, als die 2011 ebenfalls bereits mit Wilson-Remixen versehene „40th Anniversary“-Jubiläumsausgabe, über deren Sinn oder Unsinn von der traumhaften Aufmachung mal abgesehen kontroverse Diskussionen entbrannten. Zum Album selbst muss man nicht mehr allzu viele Worte verlieren. „Aqualung“ mit seinem ikonischen Cover gilt als Meilenstein der Rockgeschichte, für Jethro Tull geriet es 1971 zum kommerziellen Big Bang. Die Band trat hier erstmals mit Bassist Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond sowie mit Keyboarder John Evan als festem Mitglied an, für Gründungsmitglied und Schlagzeuger Clive Bunker war es der Ausstand, seinen Part übernahm später Barriemore Barlow.

    „Z Pódia Mě Budou Muset Odnést V Botách“... Ian Anderson Nikdy Nejsi Moc Starej

    JETHRO TULL OD KOŘENŮ K VĚTVÍM OD JETHRO TOE AŽ NA KONEC CESTY Ian Anderson, Martin Barre a další vyprávějí skutečný příběh jedné z nejdéle hrajících kapel progresivního rocku... „Z pódia mě budou muset odnést v botách“... Ian Anderson Nikdy nejsi moc starej ... Stále tvoří novou hudbu a hraje živě i těsně před 70kou – Ian Anderson je umělcem, který se vždy dívá dopředu, spíše než aby žil z minulé slávy. Nicméně, s blížícím se 50tým výročím Jethro Tull, časopis Prog přitlačil frontmana ke zdi, aby vyzvěděl úvahy o jeho dosavadní kariéře... Je neděle. Pro mnohé z nás čas odpočinku. Ne tak pro Iana Andersona. On tradiční volný den často tráví za stolem ve své pracovně. „Sedím tam a vytvářím itineráře, plánuji. A to tak, aby byly všem srozumitelné. Teď mám třeba itinerář až do konce roku, a je dostupný jak kapele, tak technikům, aby věděli, co se rýsuje. Většinou jsou tam i přesné lety, i když ještě nerezervované. Také místa vystoupení a lokální produkční tým. To vše tam je.“ Říká to s jistou hrdostí v hlase. „Jiní lidé sedí a plánují své letní dovolené, a já dělám něco podobného, jsou to také svého druhu výlety.“ Blíží se k 70ce a nehodlá zpomalit. I když přiznává, že si rád občas taky dá nohy nahoru a přečte dobrou knížku, člověk má pocit, že je nejšťastnější v potu tváře. „Obecně řečeno, rád dělám cosi, čemu většina lidí říká ´práce´ každý den, protože z toho mám dobrý pocit.“ Nedávno dokončil produkci nového počinu, Jehtro Tull – Smyčcová kvarteta , a popisuje jej jako „základní známé kusy Jethro Tull zpracované v poměrně autentickém duchu smyčcového kvarteta, a zároveň pečlivě řešené tak, aby s nimi lidé nemuseli na eBay“.

    Jethro Tull a New Day Report #134 Další Porce Novinek Z Tábora Naší Oblíbené Kapely…

    Jethro Tull A New Day Report #134 Další porce novinek z tábora naší oblíbené kapely… Hlavní zprávou je, že Floriana Opahle nahradil na postu kytaristy Joe Parrish. Florianův odchod byl překvapením, a také okázalý způsob, jakým to bylo oznámeno, říká David Rees z britského fanzinu A New Day. Kolikrát již člen JT prostě zmizel jen s malou notickou či zcela bez komentáře, tentokrát však Ian neváhal napsat obsáhlé rozlučkové pojednání o několika odstavcích… pokud však někdo čekal, že se vrátí Martin Barre, byl zklamán… Joe Parrish se narodil v Bedfordshire v roce 1995, na kytaru začal hrát v šesti letech, s rockem se seznámil díky vinylům svých rodičů ze 70. let, včetně Yes, Deep Purple, Steeleye Span a takové zvláštní desky, která vypadala jako fiktivní štůsek novin… V pubertě poznal i tvrdší stránku rocku, hlavně prostřednictvím Iron Maiden. Studoval hudbu na London College of Music. Začal skládat pro různé příležitosti, jeho vlastním projektem je skupina Albion, která spojuje folkovou hudbu s rockem a metalem. Ianovo nové album by mělo vyjít ještě letos. Stevenem Wilsonem remixovaná alba JT už asi žádná nevyjdou (poslední byl Stormwatch), ale Parlophone/Warners se prý chystají vydat „knižní“ reedici Benefitu, což je poslední z alb JT ze 60-70 let, které tuto podobu ještě nedostalo. Stormwatch 2 se bude jmenovat vinyl, který letos vyjde a bude obsahovat bonusové tracky z nedávno vyšlého „knižního“ vydání Stormwatche: Side 1 Broadford Bazaar / Crossword / Dun Ringill (early version) / Dark Ages (early version) a Side 2 Urban Apocalypse / Kelpie / Man Of God / Sweet Dream Fanfare / Sweet Dream (live). Na obalu bude Ian Anderson s dalekohledem a blesky, což album stylově spojí s obalem původního alba Stormwatch z roku 1979… Postřehy z recenze koncertu IAN ANDERSON presents JETHRO TULL, Haarlem, Holland 22/10/19 z pera Gerry McNallyho Poprvé jsem viděl Jethro Tull v Edinburghu v roce 1992 a od té doby jim fandím.
