Jethro Tull: Bourée

[@ScarabKovaire]

When I saw Jethro Tull preform this live he said, "This piece was written around 300 years ago, around the time I was born." I will never forget that concert. I play the flute because of him.

[@ScarabKovaire]

I discovered Tull recently. They're definitely original. One of those bands that you can instantly tell from any other band. It sounds to me like music Henry VIII would like if he were a rocker. Medieval Rock & Roll.

Hope you can hear as much of them as possible. Definitely original and great musicians/performers. Unlike any others then or since. Best to you from old hippie/heavy rocker.​@Temulon

[@JohnTischler]

The 70's were truly a magical era for music. Bands like Jethro Tull, ELP and Yes brought classical music to the ears of kids who never heard it before. Ian Anderson is a gem who has never been duplicated. He can play the flute like a lover, and attack with it, like it is a deadly weapon. I tell my kids to see these giants of rock before they are gone. The music industry no longer cares about breaking new sounds and taking chances. That's who so much music today sounds the same.

As regards classical music back in the 70s, there were more teenagers listening to it then than in later decades! The music industry you talked about, which country? I get the impression you have not expanded your music sphere beyond your own country!!! If so, you need to get out more!

Right ... but who is "ELP?" Is that a typo from ELO / Electric Light Orchestra?

If anyone wanted to elect the king of flute traversière the last 50 years ~~ my vote goes to Ian Anderson!

[@RootlessNZ]

Yes, he's a wonderful flute player. If you like flute, you could listen to Roland Kirk and Harold McNair. Kirk is jazz not rock but he makes a flute talk, and Anderson obviously listened to him when he was younger. Kirk was a blind, black American who rocked before rock was a thing.

[@jpdj2715]

@@RootlessNZ - Ian Anderson, leader/flautist of Jethro Tull recorded a version of Roland Kirk's "Serenade to a Cuckoo" on their first album This Was (1968). Kirk made Anderson think he could bring a flute into rock music. AFAIK Anderson was pretty well known with the jazz repertoire and must have been aware of other jazz flute players. In order of YoB (wiki inspired): Eric Dolphy - Eric Allan Dolphy Jr. (1928..1964) was an American jazz multi-instrumentalist and bandleader. Primarily an alto saxophonist, bass clarinetist, and flautist, Dolphy was one of several multi-instrumentalists to gain prominence during the same era. His use of the bass clarinet helped to establish the unconventional instrument within jazz. Dolphy extended the vocabulary and boundaries of the alto saxophone, and was among the earliest significant jazz flute soloists. Eric Dolphy also is the godfather of jazz bass clarinet! Famous Dolphy collaborators include Charles Mingus, John Coltrane and Freddie Hubbard. “Herbie Mann “, born Herbert Jay Solomon (1930.. 2003) was an American jazz flute player and important early practitioner of world music. Rahsaan Roland Kirk (born Ronald Theodore Kirk; 1935..1977), or Roland Kirk, was an American jazz multi-instrumentalist who played tenor saxophone, flute, and many other instruments. Hubert Laws (1939..) is an American flutist and saxophonist with a career spanning over 50 years in jazz, classical, and other music genres. Laws is one of the few classical artists who has also mastered jazz, pop, and rhythm-and-blues genres, moving effortlessly from one repertory to another. He has three Grammy nominations. The idea of using a flute in the pop/rock realm was not new, when Anderson turned to that flute, so here is a pop/rock list of recordings that used the flauto traverso by date of release. Tull/Anderson’s “Living in the past” is on row 9: Performers - Title - Released - Flautist Moe Koffman Quartette The Swingin’ Shepherd Blues 1958 Morris “Moe” Koffman The Beatles You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away 1965 John Scott The Mamas & The Papas California Dreamin’ 1965 Bud Shank Traffic Hole In My Shoe 1967 Chris Wood Donovan There Is A Mountain 1967 Harold McNair The Moody Blues Legend Of A Mind 1968 Ray Thomas Canned Heat Going Up The Country 1968 Jim Horn Manfred Mann Mighty Quinn (Quinn The Eskimo) 1968 Klaus Voormann Jethro Tull Living In The Past 1969 Ian Anderson King Crimson I Talk To The Wind 1969 Ian McDonald John Mayall Room To Move 1969 Johnny Almond The Guess Who Undun 1970 Burton Cummings Genesis Dusk 1970 Peter Gabriel Chicago Colour My World 1970 Walter Parazaider Blodwyn Pig Variations On Nainos 1970 Jack Lancaster Focus House Of The King 1971 Thijs van Leer Caravan Love To Love You (And Tonight Pigs Will Fly) 1971 Jimmy Hastings Jade Warrior A Prenormal Day In Brighton 1971 Jon Field Firefall You Are The Woman 1976 David Muse Camel Air Born 1976 Andy Latimer Heart Dreamboat Annie (Reprise) 1976 Ann Wilson Dan Fogelberg & Tim Weisberg Tell Me To My Face 1978 Tim Weisberg Steve Hackett The Virgin & The Gypsy 1979 John Hackett

My daughter has liked this since she is 5! And still love it at 9. Because of this piece, she decided to learn flute at the Liège Academy of Music. And this comment is the 2000th one! hehe
