Info for The String Quartets

Ein neues Album von Ian Anderson und dem Carducci Quartet, welches Songs von Jethro Tull in einem neuen neoklassischen Gewand präsentiert. Arrangiert und orchestriert von John O’Hara. Ian spielt seine Querflöte auf den meisten Tracks und singt sogar hier und da einige Zeilen, um in diesem klassischen Kontext den traditionellen Sound zu bewahren. Living in the Past, Aqualung, Locomotive Breath und Bungle in the Jungle tauchen auf dem Tracklisting auf, zusammen mit weiteren musikalischen Jethro Tull Stücken, unter neuen, kryptischen Songtiteln, um sie von den Originalaufnahmen zu unterscheiden. Ian Anderson schafft es immer wieder seine treuen Fans mit neuem kreativen Output zu überraschen.

Ian Anderson, Flöte, Gesang, Akustikgitarre, Mandoline

Jethro Tull
formed in February 1968 from the ashes of two unsuccessful blues/rock bands of the era. Ian Anderson brought his unique and innovative style of flute playing to a public raised on the guitar based British bands who courted acceptance at London’s famous Marquee Club.

After their first tentative blues oriented album, titled “This Was,” the group moved through successive records towards a more progressive sound, and with “Aqualung” in 1971 achieved their first real international level of success.

A few hit singles, notably “Living in the Past,” livened up their early career although it was as an album band, with songs of real substance, that the group really took off, both on record and as a major live concert act.

So-called concept albums followed in the early 70’s (“Thick as a Brick” and “A Passion Play”) with the attendant platinum No. 1 album chart sales.

Tull survived the critical backlash of the return-to-basics later 70’s to produce some of their finest creative efforts which, although not quite matching the commercial success of the previous works, established the band as one of the truly creative exponents of progressive music throughout the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s.

They have continued to constantly reinvent themselves, albeit with several personnel changes along the way.

Ian Anderson (flute and vocals) and Martin Barre (guitar) provide to this day the musical and historical backbone of the group, joined by Doane Perry on drums, Andrew Giddings on keyboards, and Jonathan Noyce on bass.

This album contains no booklet.
