Info zu Live from Baloise Session Basel 15-11-2008

Am 15. November 2008 entfachte Jethro Tull auf dem Basler Festival ein musikalisches Feuerwerk und verzauberte das Publikum mit einer mitreißenden Darbietung voller Energie, Virtuosität und Leidenschaft. Erstmals überhaupt erscheint dieses unvergessliche Konzerterlebnis – eine meisterhafte Fusion aus Folk, Blues, Rock und sinfonischen Elementen. Von "Living In The Past" bis "Aqualung": diese Musik ist zeitlos – sie berührt, begeistert und bleibt für immer.

Mit dem unvergleichlichen Sound von Ian Anderson an der Flöte sind Jethro Tull seit 40 Jahren die Superstars des progressiven Art-Rock. Diesen Meilenstein feierten sie auf unserer Bühne in guter Gesellschaft des besten Schweizer Roots-Rock-Gitarristen: Hank Shizzoe mit seinen Directors.

Mit einer originellen Mischung aus Folk, Blues, Rock und klassischen Elementen verkörpern Jethro Tull bis heute eine hochkreative Periode der britischen Popgeschichte. Hank Shizzoe hingegen hat die Essenz der großen amerikanischen Singer/Songwriter-Tradition destilliert. Auf ganz unterschiedliche Weise definieren sie die Kunst des Rock.

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.
