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]

@Paolo G The concert I saw was in 2014. I wasn't alive in 1974 so that would have been difficult, although that would be cool.

[@danielevalastro9740]

Ahahahah 🤣

[@u4riahsc]

Me too. I picked up the flute back in the day because of Jethro Tull.

[@janislr7014]

I didn't play it but I initially bought a flute because of JT😂😂 I call it Ian's flute since then😂😂😂😂😂

[@nancymyers232]

So do I! Ian told me that even at 63 it wasn’t too late! So I got started. It’ll be a minute before Ian asks me to join him on tour but hey.

[@eddd2936]

I was introduced to Tull as 15 year old Black kid on the southside of Chicago. I was blown away by the unique music of Tull which I found inside of my new discovery of rock music. I have been a Jethro Tull/ Ian Anderson fan ever since.

[@alfred7147]

I have loved Jethro Tull since high school 1969. The music never fades.

Found in college around 1970. Still have the albums I saved, got disc so I can listen to Tull while driving today. Locomotive Breath still makes me speed!!!!!

[@Temulon]

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.

[@eatonbraynz247]

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

[@ЕвгенияБ-щ5й]

Si algo define la calidad de la musica de Bach es su facilidad para encajar con otros ritmos y otras maneras de entender una misma partitura. Es como el ADN de la vida misma, se replica una y otra vez evolucionando y adaptandose a nuevos entornos impredeciblemente cambiantes. Thank you Ian, thank you Bach.

If you care for this kind of music, think about Canned Heat with Poppa John Creach on the electric flute. Poppa John was about 60 years older than the rest of the band ... but he could rock out with the best. Or, oh, who was it that played electric flute on a couple early Elton John albums? Little help here please.

Wrong, Papa John started out the electric FIDDLE, not flute. Stil looking ...

[@neilhannay4976]

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

[@francesriddiough8818]

bouree is a generic term for a type of dance, there were lots of bourees. But The thing with Bach which makes him unique I feel is that timing is everything,its that which gives the unique ''feel'' and you just cant mistake him for any other composer. If you err one nano second on the timing you have lost what Bach was all about.. I HATED playing Bach for that very reason and was VERY unsuccessful in each and every piece because it never allowed for expression or individuality.....and here is Jethro doing just that...........and hats off!..................but its lost Bach's soul in so doing.....and put in a little of his own. Which do I prefer? Well as a lover of Jethro Tull................I still prefer Bach.

I can still smell the cocaine and taste the mushrooms from those wondrous years.. Crazily talented musicians were everywhere you look and these guys are an OUTSTANDING chapter of that book. There is some crazy energy that emerges between and around these guys when they do their thing. Anyone who’s ever seen them live knows EXACTLY what I’m talking about..

questo mito che ascolto da 50 anni non smette mai di stupirmi sia come solista che come gruppo non trovo parole per poter dire cosa penso sarai sempre uno dei grandi JETHRO TULL MITICI

[@MottiShneor]

A walking wonder that Man... I can't understand how he still manages this - even if it's half-crazy as the original recording in Stand-Up, it's still so beautiful and engaging and musically should-stirring. Mr Anderson, a word for you here. I was hardly a 7 year-old when you recorded this thing. At 14 I found about Jethro-Tull and listened and collected most everything you ever published. Then you got to Israel for performances - of which I missed none. I'm 55 now, and I tell you --- Man, you've done MORE THAN ENOUGH. If you wish to retire and rest - be ABSOLUTELY SURE, you (and your pals in Jethro-Tull) earned this rightfully. Really - only do this if you really love to, and can do without too much suffering. Your career, and music, and addicted fans like myself - will carry on this thing forever. Cheers, and thanks again. and again. and again.
