They recruited Johnny Taylor as a booking agent and played gigs around northwest England, [ 15 ] performing a mixture of blues and Motown covers. In November the band moved from the north of England to LutonBedfordshire, 30 miles 48 km from central London, and signed a management deal with Terry Ellis and Chris Wright. They replaced Smith with guitarist Mick Abrahams[ 20 ] but quickly realised that supporting a six-piece band was financially impractical and disbanded.

Anderson, Abrahams, and Cornick stayed together, recruited Abrahams's friend Clive Bunker on drums, [ 21 ] and became a British blues band. At first, the new band found it difficult to obtain repeat bookings. Anderson recalled looking at a poster at a club and realising that the band name he did not recognise was theirs. The name stuck because they were using it when the manager of the Marquee Club liked their show enough to give them a weekly residency.

He said if he could change one thing in his life, he would go back and change the name of the band to something less historical. The band recorded a session with producer Derek Lawrence which resulted in the single "Sunshine Day". Anderson possessed a large overcoat which his father had given to him with the words "You'd better take this.

It's going to be a cold winter. Anderson had purchased a flute after becoming frustrated with his inability to play guitar as well as Abrahams or Cream guitarist Eric Clapton. Their managers had wanted him to remain a rhythm guitarist, with Abrahams as the front man, [ 33 ] and Anderson said later:. I didn't want to be just another third-rate guitar player who sounded like a plethora of other third-rate guitar players.

I wanted to do something that was a bit more idiosyncratic, hence the switch to another instrument. When Jethro Tull began, I think I'd been playing the flute for about two weeks. It was a quick learning curve The group got their first major break at the National Jazz and Blues Festival at Sunbury-on-Thames in Augustwhere they drew a rapturous reception and positive reviews in the music press.

They said their success at Sunbury was a result of persistent touring, which had generated a grassroots following who came to the festival and encouraged the rest of the audience. Cornick recalled, "From that moment on, we were a big band". The group recorded their first album, This Wasbetween June and August Released in Octoberit reached number 10 in the UK charts.

Following the album's release, Abrahams left the band in December to form his own group, Blodwyn Pig. Abrahams had heard that Ellis wanted Anderson to be the frontman and group leader, at his expense, and he realised that he was unlikely to have the majority share in songwriting. The group tried several replacements for Abrahams. The first was David O'Listwho had recently left the Nice.

After a week's rehearsal, O'List did not show up and lost contact with the group. The next choice was Mick Taylorwho turned the group down because he felt his current gig with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers was a better deal. Iommi had impressed Jethro Tull when Earth opened for them at a show in Birmingham; he briefly joined the band, but he quit after a few weeks and returned to Birmingham to rejoin Earth, feeling closer to his old band.

The rest was mimed to the studio track, which featured Abrahams' guitar playing. The next choice was Martin Barrewho had seen the band perform at Sunbury [ 45 ] and had auditioned for guitarist at the same time as Iommi. Barre arranged a second audition, and Anderson showed him new songs in a different style from the blues they had been recording.

Anderson was impressed by Barre's technique and offered him the job. The result was " Living in the Past ", which reached No. Anderson had now established himself as leader and songwriter and wrote all the material for the album, except for his jazzy rearrangement of J. Immediately after releasing Stand Upthe group set off on their first headlining tour of the US, which included an appearance at the Newport Jazz Festival.

He was initially reluctant to rejoin the band because of his studies, which gave him access to a free studio, [ 57 ] but he had played as a session musician on Tull's next album, Benefitand when Anderson needed someone to play the keyboard parts on tour, his tutor persuaded him that rejoining would be a good idea. He died in August Anderson invited Jeffrey Hammond to replace Cornick, buying him a new bass for the purpose.

The album was split into two parts, subtitled "Aqualung" and "My God", and featured among other things Anderson's views on organised religion. On " Locomotive Breath ", Anderson recorded the backing track by himself, singing to a hi-hat accompaniment, and the rest of the band added their parts later. Drummer Clive Bunker quit the group in May[ 70 ] [ 71 ] citing heavy touring schedules and his wish to spend more time with his family.

Bunker was replaced by Barrie Barlowwhom Anderson renamed "Barriemore". The jethro tull bibliography put strain on Anderson's marriage to his first wife, which lasted for another year before they divorced. Anderson became annoyed with music critics who described Aqualung as a concept albumwhich he had not intended it to be. It's an album of varied songs Living in the Past was also released in ; it is a double- album compilation of remixed singles, B-sides and outtakes, including the entirety of the Life Is a Long Song EP, which closed the album.

They returned to England where in early they recorded and released A Passion Playanother single-track concept album, with allegorical lyrics focusing on the afterlife and, like Thick as a Brickcontaining unusual instrumentation. A Passion Play sold well but received poor reviews, including a particularly damning review of a live performance from Chris Welch of Melody Maker.

While the band's jethro tull bibliography with critics began to wane, their popularity with the record-buying public remained strong, as was seen by the high sales figures of their follow-up album, 's War Child. Originally intended for the soundtrack of a film, [ 85 ] War Child reached number two on the US Billboard chartswas given critical acclaim and produced two singles, " Bungle in the Jungle " 12 on the US singles chart and " Skating Away on the Thin Ice of the New Day ".

It also included a short acoustic song with satirical lyrics, "Only Solitaire", which was believed to have been aimed at L. Anderson said later that the song was written before Hilburn's review and was aimed at music critics in general. The War Child tour included a female string quartet playing on the new material. In the band released Minstrel in the Galleryan album in the style of 's Aqualungwhich contrasted softer, acoustic guitar-based pieces with lengthier, more bombastic works reinforced by Barre's electric guitar.

Written and recorded during Anderson's divorce from his first wife Jennie Franksthe album was characterised by a more introspective tone and received mixed reviews. It is a concept album about the life of an ageing rocker. On the Bursting Out live version of "Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll", released two years later, Anderson denies that the song is about himself.

Glascock made his first appearance as bassist with Tull on this album, and also contributed harmony and second vocals. Palmer continued as arranger, and appeared as a guest keyboard player on two songs. A television special was recorded showing the development of the album's concept in a live show, with the band dressed in tongue-in-cheek outfits, but was never officially released.

Songs from the Wood was the first Tull album to receive generally positive reviews since the release of Living in the Past Although Jethro Tull were not formally considered to be part of the folk-rock movement, which had begun nearly a decade earlier with Fairport Conventionthere was clearly an exchange of musical ideas among Tull and the folk rockers.

The band continued to tour and in released a live double album, Bursting Outwhich had been recorded during the European leg of the Heavy Horses tour. Tull's third folk-influenced album, Stormwatchwas released in During the making of the album, Glascock suffered major health problems related to open-heart surgery from the previous year and Anderson played bass on much of the album.

After the release of StormwatchFairport Convention bassist Dave Pegg was hired for the ensuing tour, during which Glascock died from heart complications at his home in England. Following the Stormwatch tour in earlyBarlow, Evan, and Palmer left the band. Barlow was said to have been depressed after Glascock's death, and Evan and Palmer were having to reconsider their future after Anderson had announced that he wanted to record a solo album.

Evan and Palmer both recalled being dismissed by letter. The first album of the s was intended to be Anderson's first solo album, but after pressure from Chrysalis Records he agreed to release it as a Jethro Tull album. The album featured prominent use of synthesisers and its style contrasted sharply with the established Tull sound. It was given the title Ataken from the labels on the master tapes of the scrapped solo album, which were marked "A" for "Anderson".

A was released in mid In keeping with the mood of innovation surrounding the album, Jethro Tull developed a music video titled Slipstream. Anderson took full control of the music and lyrics, resulting in an eclectic blend of styles and instrumentation. The album quickly soared to No. The album marked the inclusion of pianist and organist John Evan, though he was not yet a full member.

It was also the final album to feature bass guitarist Glenn Cornick, who was dismissed after the tour. Recorded at Morgan Studios, the band experimented with more complex recording techniques. Though the band denies a deliberate concept, it explores themes of religion and societal struggles. Released on March 3,the album features one continuous piece of music, cleverly parodying the concept album genre.

Packaged as a page newspaper, the album presents itself as a musical adaptation of an epic poem by fictional child prodigy Gerald Bostock, though the lyrics were penned by frontman Ian Anderson. The band faced scrutiny and had to address their plans for the future in press conferences. The album, reminiscent of their early s sound from BenefitAqualungand Thick as a Brickwas recorded in Monte Carlo using a newly constructed mobile studio.

It was the last album to feature bassist Jeffrey Hammond, who left after the tour, being replaced by John Glascock.
