Ian Anderson, who has performed with orchestras on several occasions since 2001, commented at the time about the musicians assembled for "IAN ANDERSON PLAYS THE ORCHESTRAL JETHRO TULL".The core of the band that will play with me at these concerts has been chosen for their skill in a variety of musical disciplines. They must not only cover the styles and nuances of my music and Jethro Tull's over the years, but also understand the orchestral settings we have used and how they work. The musicians and Ian Anderson will perform Jethro Tull's signature pieces such as "Living In The Past," "Aqualang," and "Locomotive Breath," as well as "Boure," inspired by J.S. Bach's "Boule in E Minor," in a classical arrangement with orchestra. It brought new surprises to Jethro Tull fans of yesteryear and classical music fans alike. Later in 2017, Ian Anderson released "JETHRO TULL - THE STRING QUARTETS," a "Jethro Tull meets classic" collaboration album with the Carducci String Quartet, orchestrated by John O'Hara.The analog LPs are now available, allowing the listener to feel the history of classical influences and love of the classics that runs through Ian Anderson.
