Jethro Tull était un groupe de rock britannique progressif formé à Blackpool dans la seconde partie des années 1960. Leur musique est marquée par le style vocal très particulier du leader Ian Anderson (une voix nasillarde mais remarquablement juste), son travail unique de flûtiste, et par des constructions de chansons inhabituelles et souvent complexes. Leur musique incorpore des éléments de musique classique et celtique, blues (surtout à leurs débuts) ainsi que des phases art rock alternatif du rock. Malgré ceci, il est difficile de désigner des artistes spécifiques ayant directement influencé ou étant directement influencés par Jethro Tull, dont l'œuvre reste à part dans le monde du rock. Le dernier album du groupe date de 2003, The Christmas Album, même s'ils ont continué les tournées jusqu'en 2011. Puis en avril 2014, alors qu'il se concentrait sur sa carrière solo déjà bien entamée.
Jethro Tull were a British rock group, formed in Luton, Bedfordshire, in December 1967. Initially playing blues rock, the band's sound soon incorporated elements of British folk music and hard rock to forge a progressive rock signature.The band were led by vocalist/flautist/guitarist Ian Anderson, and have included other significant members such as guitarist Martin Barre, drummer Doane Perry, and bassist Dave Pegg.
Stand Up represents the first album project on which Anderson was in full control of the music and lyrics. It also marks the first appearance of guitarist Martin Barre, who appeared on every Jethro Tull album from this point on.
Styles
The song "Fat Man" shows an interest in unusual instrumentation, as Ian Anderson played mandolin, one of the first times the instrument had been used by a rock band. The instrumental "Bourée" (one of Jethro Tull's popular concert pieces) is a jazzy re-working of "Bourrée in E minor" by Johann Sebastian Bach. Ian Anderson has said that the melody and solo in "We Used to Know" were used by the Eagles in "Hotel California" as a type of tribute. The Eagles had opened for Jethro Tull at one time.
