c_s_1987 Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 I naturally thought of Genesis and Jethro Tull immediately. The flute is just about the most important instrument in early Genesis and Tull songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulGirl Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 i definitely think of the beatles when i think of the flute in rock music - 'the fool on the hill', 'strawberry fields', and there are definitely flutes aplenty on 'sgt pepper's'. somewhat by extension, since oasis areso heavily influence by the beatles, i seem to remember there's a track off 'standing on the shoulders of giants' which has some very beatlesesque flutes on it!

Dappled Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Manfred Mann's Bare Hugg Blues Project's Flute Thing In Wild Thing Reg Presley (I think) plays the ocarina, and in The Fool On The Hill it's recorders, I believe. Great music, anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockstar-101 Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Is it true that Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull really didn't know how to play the flute and he just basically hummed the tune of the song into the flute? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazooka Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 [smallest]from wikipedia:[/smallest] "Anderson abandoned his ambition to play electric guitar, and as he himself tells it in the introduction to the video Live at the Isle of Wight, he traded it in for a flute which, after some weeks of practise, he found he could play fairly well in a rock and blues style. According to the sleeve notes for the first Tull album, This Was, he had been playing the flute only a few months when the album was recorded … As a flautist, Anderson is self-taught; his style, which often includes a good deal of flutter tonguing and occasionally singing or humming (or even snorting) while playing, was influenced by Roland Kirk. In 2003 he recorded a composition called Griminelli's Lament in honour of his friend, the Italian flautist Andrea Griminelli. In the 1990s he began working with simple bamboo flutes. He uses techniques such as over-blowing and hole-shading to produce note-slurring and other expressive techniques on this otherwise simple instrument …Anderson plays several other musical instruments, including acoustic and electric guitar, bass guitar, bouzouki, balalaika, saxophone, harmonica, and a variety of whistles …He has recorded several songs on which he plays all the instruments as well as carrying out all the engineering and production … His earliest foray into one-man recording was apparently on the popular Tull piece Locomotive Breath. Unable to get his ideas across to the rest of the band verbally, he laid down percussion and guitar tracks himself before adding vocals and then bringing in the others, at a time when tracks were usually recorded with all band members in the studio. Ironically this is one of the most vital pieces on the 1971 Aqualung album and is a mainstay of Tull's stage show." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
