Ian Anderson

Plays Classical Jethro Tu Ian Anderson

Though they began their career as a Led Zeppelin-influenced blues-rock band, Jethro Tull eventually embraced a courtly, near-Elizabethan sound led by the delicate flute styling of chief songwriter, Ian Anderson. It therefore seems natural for Anderson to fully insert the "classic" into classic rock with symphonic arrangements of Jethro Tull songs performed in concert with Frankfurt, Germany's New Philharmonic Orchestra. Together, the flutist and orchestra breathe new life into the tricky time changes and long suites of Tull classics like ‘Calliandra Shade’, ‘Griminelli's Lament’, ‘Locomotive Breath’, and, of course, ‘Aqualung’. Full track list includes: ‘Eurology’, ‘Calliandra Shade’, ‘Skating Away On The Thin Ice Of The New Idea’, ‘Up The Pool’, ‘We Five Kings’, ‘Life Is A Long Song’, ‘In The Grip Of Stronger Stuuf’, ‘Wond’ring Aloud’, ‘Griminelli’s Lament’, ‘Cheap Day Return’, ‘Mother Groose’, ‘Bouree’, ‘Boris Dancing’, ‘Living In The Past’, ‘Pavane’, ‘Aqualung’, God Rest Te Merry Gentlemen’, ‘My God’, ‘Budapest’, ‘Locomotive Breath’.
