Flutist reacts to Jethro Tull - New Day Yesterday LIVE

Should I do more livestreams where I react to music?

Armonica in italian and spelt Harmonica in english.

[@michelelaraia7358]

Lipp or lips in english, harp, finnish/suomalainen for harmonica.

[@FrankWarnerWords]

It's a good idea, Heline. The only thing to be cautious about is that KZbin will end the stream if the original music you play triggers the algorithm to block the song.

[@englebertmagentaschweiger1447]

Every time I watch these reactions, other than Ian's antics and crazy flute playing, I'm reminded of what a MONSTER guitarist Martin Barre is. Great video!

[@daveking9393]

He certainly is and he's actually still touring He's got his own band I saw them live last year and it was an amazing show did a great job.

[@PIGFRAN]

He do the job of two guitarists very easy... base and lead guitar ...

[@philmo9667]

and martin on Marimba ! .... He's SO overlooked .

[@bocephus1911]

Very good picker , shame how Ian got rid of him , fine to get rid him that’s his right , but the way after so many years , have seen Martini’s band very good they are

[@alwilson3204]

@@bocephus1911 Ian is a very intelligent and energetic showman; lots can be said in his favor, yet there is a side to him that is kind of cutthroat and even quite irreligious, especially toward Christianity.

[@mvjonsson]

This song is originally from Jethro Tull's second album, Stand Up, 1969, the first to feature Martin Barre on the guitar. Jethro Tull were quite bluesy on their first two albums, later evolving to a more progressive folk rock sound, so the harmonica seems quite natural in this setting.

[@kajlennartsson4234]

Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull is always fun listing to. I love when you react and play Jethro Tull music.

[@tmackinator]

Your English is much better than most Americans! Indeed this is a harmonica to us. Also it is often called a harp or mouth organ.

[@philodonoghue3062]

Jethro Tull was originally a blues band It’s a ‘blues harp’ used by American black blues greats such as Little Walter and Howlin’ Wolf. Often played as a backing instrument eg in Muddy Waters Plenty on KZbin As distinct to a ‘chromatic harmonica’.

[@sancho8521]

...Ms. Heline 🫣 I saw the eyes light up, heard giggles, say it out loud! You were digging the Tull !

[@richiecabral3602]

I'm pretty sure Ian had been playing the harmonica before he even took up the flute. The story that I'd always heard was that in his very early days he created his move of playing while standing on one leg while playing the harmonica on the street for money.

[@capokarate7329]

The strange and mysterious love relationship between Heline and Jethro Tull!!Amo tus reacciones ...👏👏😎🙏💪🇺🇾🇧🇷🤡

[@cflyer550]

Love you reactions - don't stop.

[@shimwooley]

You do whatever you want to ! Good old "Tull".

[@daver.]

Harmonica in English has many slang nicknames with it’s use in blues. Harp is one term, others are Mississippi Sax, fist whistle, harpoon, 10 holer, tin sandwich, moustache trap, mouth organ…

[@jb5565]

In regard to Heline's question about vibrato on the Harmonica, in my experience there are 3 ways to achieve vibrato,....Cupping to produce a wah wah sound, shaking (as what Ian Anderson is doing) and using the tongue to produce a wobble to the sound

[@FrankWarnerWords]

Hi Heline. Yes, Jethro Tull started out as a blues band. You got the english pronunciation of Harmonica correct first time. Yeah, why not give it a go. Crystal clear explanation of bending the note. Ian's performance on stage (in the fifty years I've been watching him) is so entertaining backed by his fine musicianship . Thanks for a entertaining and informative reaction.

[@pekkakarppinen1608]

Jep. Huuliharppu on enkuksi "harmonica", kuten Charles Bronsonin roolinimi Sergio Leonen länkkäriklassikossa "Huuliharppukostaja". Hehheh, ei siis mikään "Hanurikostaja"😂. Jethro Tull on hieno bändi, ja yhä tuottelias seitsemännellä vuosikymmenellään. Ja tuotanto on erittäin monipuolista, folkista heviin. Huilunsoitossa sinä olet asiantuntija, mutta valitettavasti Ian menetti laulustaan korkeat äänet jo kultaisella 80 -luvulla. Nyt en muista ulkoa, mikä tauti ne vei. Mutta se näkyy ylöspäin liikkuvana kireytenä, kun hän yrittää niitä yhä tavoitella. Pysyisi mies suosiolla matalammilla taajuuksilla, koska niissä riittää vielä karismaa. Haha, aika lähellähän tämä esitys on erinomaisen "The Jethro Tull Christmas Album":in aikoja. Wink, wink! 😜

[@keithcarper8809]

[@bryanhenderson8807]

Ian Anderson was playing harmonica, which is a reed instrument, with metal reeds. If you are interested in buying a harmonica, get either a Hohner Marine Band or Hohner Special 20. I didn't know he played harmonica, so thanks for sharing this video.

[@anthonystevens8683]

Many thanks for your reaction to this track Heline! I love this. This sounds like the very early work. The bands sounds changed a lot over the years from blues to rock etc. I would suggest two albums that are worth a listen (ideally more than once to really understand them), these would be 'Songs from the Wood' and Heavy Horses', these two so far are my favourites. They have a more old English folk and less heavy vibe but still with time signature changes etc. Many thanks for sharing Heline.

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

It is an old song, from their second album.

[@jasomkovac9115]

Ya know, I'm sorry, but I was never keen on anything after Minstrel. So I figured I'd give something a try again(after probably 20 or more yrs. So I picked Stormwatch, this morning. It really sucked.

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

@@jasomkovac9115 The world would be a very boring place if everyone had exactly the same opinion. "Dun Ringhill" and "Orion" are among my favourite Tull tracks.

[@jamesloughran7278]

Vibrato on the harmonica is usually accomplished by cupping it in your hands and opening and closing them.

[@jaynyczak7999]

Yeah, harmonica! Interesting - in Polish it is also "mouth harmonica" (harmonika ustna" - sort of like in Finnish - known also as "organki" - little organs) to distinguish from harmoszka (a simple version of the accordion) and the accordion itself. The king of all, I guess, would be the (pipe) organs. The family of these related instruments is huge. Anyway, one of the features common to all these unlikely relatives is the ability to play many sounds simultaneously creating more complex harmonies. Although this is not impossible on a number of other instruments, these (arguably) may contain a larger number of sounds. They also belong to a form of "wind" instruments.

[@snapfinger1]

What Tull would sound like If Tony Iommi had joined instead of Black Sabbath. Stand Up & Benefit are Tull’s core Rock material.

[@cosmicdebris5260]

Yes harmonica for sure😉 I like to play but it makes my lips really sore. Get a Hohner they are the best! Super cool fun reaction thanks Heline!🌿

[@elvwood]

Yeah, Hohner are really good - I have two super chromonicas I inherited from my dad, in C and G, still going strong after c.50 years. I just wish I could play them as well as he could!

[@markbransford528]

Hi Heline! Really like your channel. I have been playing harmonica for the better part of 50 years. In America they are often refered to as " Harps ". They can be played not only by blowing out but also by pulling air in. This way you can bend the notes. The vibrato is a little tricky and takes some practice. Overall, lots of fun to play especially if you're into the blues!

[@BlackTecc]

[@SteveMette]

Their first two albums were more blues based especially "This Was".

[@carlandersson7870]

That flute solo is from another song called "Kelpie" (bonus song from a later album), both great songs with great flute solos, I really recommend listening to the studio versions. Cheers!

[@williambardizian830]

Percussive kind of, ya know..

[@JerryHawkins-rr3ry]

Yes, Harmonica.

[@roadboat9216]

Now this is interesting. I am a self taught flutist. Like Ian Anderson, in fact he was an influence on me taking up flute. I can play almost all genres except classical. I was a music major my first 2 yrs in college. Percussions, with some trumpet, piano and vocals. But play flute “ freestyle” or improvisational. I have no problem with the things you find a bit difficult. I play open hole and use them to advantage a lot. Also the effect you were going for in this video where you attack the note and hit somewhere between registers. (Ian does this a lot). Guess because I did not learn under the structure that you did. Also I didn’t start playing flute until my mid fifties. Just thought that this was interesting.

[@knowhere60]

This is befor Ian "lost his voice" for a while, due to his COPD (which has improved) and nodules (another reason to never smoke). The original track was the "blusiest" track from the Stand Up album, my favorite JT album. Always enjoing your music reviews, since the begining, Heline 😊 Jatka samaan malliin!

[@janjic]

Oh, man, this brings memories! This is the line-up with Jonathan Noyce and Andy Giddings (and Martin, of course), the one I saw live in Belgrade in 2004. Best two hours of music in my life.

[@esalehtismaki]

Yes, harmonica. Shaking it gives the fast tremolo, as lips flex with it. You can also change the sound by cupping your hand over it. Get a diatonic blues harp, they are cheap and fun instruments and with your background you probably know how to play it pretty well.

[@HelineFay]

Thanks, that makes sense!

Cool translation.... they are fun

[@mmhey4688]

Jethro Tull was really the combination of Musical Genius Ian Anderson, and Martin Lancelot Barre.. They are just as great as Lennon and Macartney

[@fredzeppelin3969]

Harmonica always confuses me about needing a harp that's in the correct/complimentary key, so you carry a whole bag of 'em

[@alwilson3204]

This is certainly a modernized version of a very old song to be analyzing. Ian's flute playing appears rather unique, but it's surprising how many classic hard rock singers were very accomplished harmonica players as well.

[@dennishinkle5010]

In English it's harmonica some call it a mouth organ or mouth harp. They come in different keys.

[@DocThrock49]

Heline, I think you would appreciate listening to A couple of Ian Anderson's solo songs where he showcases his flute playing at its finest ..... "A Better Moon", "Sanctuary" from the Secret Language of Birds album and "A Raft of Penguins" from the Rupi's Dance album are really good compositions

[@alansilverman8500]

This is a vamped up bluesy version... the studio recording is more lyrical...

[@neilsullivan6416]

You really need to listen to Joe Bonamassa's cover version of this song,

[@davidbmilton524]

Harmonica is such an incredible little instrument. You can either play them straight, or in a blues key like Ian's doing here. Blues technique on a "harp" has a lot of bending done by changing your umbachure... good players can bend one of the notes up and down by 3 half-tones... then there are "over-blows" which I don't understand at all. As I hear you describe flute playing, I can seee there are some direct parallels between it and harmonica playing.

[@samjuvrud3922]

If you get a "mouth harp" get a Blues harp,,,,they have wood reeds and you soak them in your favorite beverage,,helps the note warping👍👍🇺🇸

[@professorpopkiss]

Ian Anderson is playing a 10 Hole Diatonic Harmonica. probably Key of C although i think it may be A. Look at Adam Gussow, Tomlin Leckie, 2 of the best Harmonica tutors I have used. And if you want a real treat Carlos Del Junco he will blow you away. of course there are many more Howard Levy plays many wind instruments but in my opinion excels in harmonica, Buddy Green is amazing, Sonny boy Williamson. Ok I'll stop.

[@rockymountboy]

One thing about JT is that they change up their songs to keep performances interesting. This versions is quite different than the original album version, incorporating a segment from another song, Kelpie (the lively part of the solo). Some concert versions songs are almost unrecognizable.

[@professorpopkiss]

Have you listened to the bands most famous single, "Living in the past" I think from 1967/8. evolutionary words.😂

[@marceldagenais1893]

[@RobertERensch]

Harmonica. Mouth harp. Blues harp. They are a riot. Reference your key as you’d play a C harp in the key of G. No rules. The sound comes out or it don’t. ✌️

[@gloryrow100]

he's not bending the notes with a gradual opening of the keys ,but rather with a rolling of the flute body away from himself.

[@fenixfp40]

It’s a blues harp which is diatonic. Harmonica’s are chromatic. I could be wrong though.

[@jaapdegraaff6523]

Hello Heline! They call this harmonica a 'Bluesharp'. :)

[@BC-ui9yt]

This was about the time that I saw them. Don't remember the harmonica, but I'm sad at how his voice has degraded. "Harmonica" is correct. But it sounds so much better when you say it. That and your smile make the video so much better :)

This is 15:06 A New Day Yesterday. My favorite Tull song. Tull did start as a Blues based band. Bouree is an instrumental & nearly all flute. Check out the album version. It’s an old English folk song.

[@StephenBoeker]

Maybe "heavy & pointed" tongue would better describe it ??

[@jcds22scheeler93]

[@cosmicdebris5260]

This is quite a bit different than most of his performances I've seen of this tune! But cool!

[@jollyrodgers7272]

If you get a chance to hear BOUREE' from the album Living In The Past, and Stand Up, as well as their Christmas album, etc. you'll hear Ian fluting classically. I'll recommend CROSS-EYED MARY, NOTHING IS EASY, and LIVING IN THE PAST for more contemporary jazz/rock fluting from the late '60s.

[@edwinbarnett9032]

You had it right it is called a harmonica.That is the way I play it

[@geraldharris8420]

This musical instrument is called a Harmonica in English.

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

Harmonica (or mouth harp, or blues harp, or mouth organ). There are two types - a chromatic harmonica uses a button to change the pitch by half-toes; a standard (diatonic) harmonica has a reduced number of notes available. You can bend notes, partly through pressure, but more through moving of the tongue close to the hole, and by moving the hands covering the air holes at the back. This looks and sounds like a standard harmonica. Jethro Tull's first two albums were very bluesy (this is off the second).

[@RolandTumble23]

Thing about the harmonica is that it's played on both blow and draw, with each hole giving two different notes depending on air direction. This would make an air-flow vibrato impossible (or nearly so...).

[@HelineFay]

I'm not sure I understand. Vibrato (on flute at least) can usually be obtained by changing air pressure/speed of the airflow, not by exhaling and inhaling. although some reed instruments require bite pressure change.

[@RolandTumble23]

@@HelineFay Right, but while it's relatively easy to vary breath pressure/flow when exhaling (as on the flute), it's a LOT harder to control when inhaling. And half the notes on the harmonica are played by inhaling (regardless of vibrato).

[@HelineFay]

Oh right, makes sense!

Yes, a harmonica or mouth organ. In English. Lip harp makes perfect sense. Ian does have a very unique flute playing style. Ian is a very flamboyant performer. Standing on one leg like a flamingo and always the big flashing eyes.

[@GrilloTheFlightless]

You can create a vibrato effect on harmonica a few ways - either by hand-fluttering, shaking the harmonica or by controlling the flow of air rapidly via the throat (my preferred method when I play). Yes, in English we’d call it a harmonica. Or mouth-organ. And to confuse matters, a lot of blues players just call it a harp. Another nickname for it is ‘tin-sandwich’. Sometimes I just call mine a spit-collector!

This was a superb reaction to "the third Jethro Tull" , the others being the mysterious, magical one like My God and the folky one like Sossity, you're a woman for example. JT really went their own way musically but also socially. My God and Hymn 43, probably also other songs, made them the arch enemy to the at the time influental English church. Sossity with spelling and later the monumental Thick as a Brick mirrored the society in a disfiguring way, a true picture could be claimed. So, the two last songs are about the sexes, Thick particularly about human reproduction, the unequal life opportunities and the folly of the men. Punk of those times... Great to hear Barrymore! 🇸🇪🇫🇮
