RIP - very sad Glenn Cornick: musician. April 23rd 1947 – August 29th 2014. jethrotull.com/glenn-cornick-290814/It is with great sadness that we learned today of the passing of Glenn Cornick, bass player with Jethro Tull from the band’s inception 1968 until 1970. Of course, he had also played with the John Evan Band for the year during 1967 and so his contribution to the geographical transition from Blackpool to London and into the professional music scene was considerable. Glenn was a man of great bonhomie and ready to befriend anyone – especially fellow musicians. Always cheerful, he brought to the early stage performances of Tull a lively bravado both as a personality and a musician. His background in the beat groups of the North of England and his broad knowledge of music were always helpful in establishing the arrangements of the early Tull. During the many years since then, Glenn continued to play in various bands and was a frequent guest at Tull fan conventions where he would join in with gusto to rekindle the musical moments of the early repertoire. We will miss him hugely and our condolences go to his wife Bridgette and children. Glenn Cornick: musician. April 23rd 1947 – August 29th 2014. Ian Anderson 19.30 August 29th 2014

RIP, Glenn. Loved the bass line of Bouree.
Nothing is easy, but with you there to help me then it probably will.

Glenn will forever remain a legend in the story that is Jethro Tull, not only for being one of the founder members of the band and a great and inventive bass player, but for being an all round honest and decent person. He would willingly correspond with fans and appear at Conventions and would share his musical memories to all those who talked to him. He will be missed not only by the Jethro Tull fraternity but by the musical world in general for his post Tull work with Wild Turkey, Kathargo and Paris. Rest In Peace Glenn - thank you for the music. www.usatoday.com - link

Really sad to hear this news. As much as I love the steadiness of John Glascock and the eccentricities of Jeffrey Hammond Hammond for me Glenn was always the definitive Tull bass player. Such invention and melody in his playing and of course his appearance no doubt added to the band's early look. He also kind enough to email me a brief reply when I contacted him some years ago to say how much I enjoyed his wonderful website. As well as obviously devastating for his family its a sad time for all Tull fans.

Shocking news. 67 is young to depart this earth.... John Evan summed up Glens style when he said who else could deliver such a brilliant tripping bass line as in LITP as Glen did? All Tull fans are mourning a great bass player. RIP Glen Cornick.

Very impressive veritable flood of tributes, condolences and memories of a musician's life well lived and a man who left friendship and good times in his wake. Worth raising an eyebrow...one of the srticles posted by TooTull places Glenn in a band with Tommy Bolin in 2007....good trick, Bolin died in '76 ! It must of meant collaboration with someone who had been in one of Bolin's bands?

Very impressive veritable flood of tributes, condolences and memories of a musician's life well lived and a man who left friendship and good times in his wake. Very much so. From Hawaii to the Isle of Bute where he lived for the first three years of his life.

Well the dear old BBC finally posted an obituary: www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-29001854Glenn Cornick, original Jethro Tull bassist, dies aged 6731 August 2014 Last updated at 03:33Glenn Cornick played bass for Jethro Tull from its formation in 1967 to 1970British bassist Glenn Cornick, a founding member of British rock band Jethro Tull, has died aged 67. Cornick was the band's original bassist, playing from its inception in 1967 until he left three years later. He had been suffering congestive heart failure and died at his home in Hilo, Hawaii, on Friday. His son, Drew Cornick, said he had been receiving hospice care before he died. He said his father was brilliant and cantankerous until the day he died. Jethro Tull frontman Ian Anderson also paid tribute to the British-born musician. He said Cornick's contribution to the legendary band, renowned as one of the biggest bands of the prog rock era, had been "considerable". Writing on the Jethro Tull website, Anderson said Cornick's broad knowledge of music helped establish the arrangements of the band's early material. 'Lively bravado' "Glenn was a man of great bonhomie and ready to befriend anyone - especially fellow musicians," he said. "Always cheerful, he brought to the early stage performances of Tull a lively bravado both as a personality and a musician." Cornick had a firm footing in the origins of Jethro Tull - as far back to the mid-1960s when the band was known as the John Evan Band. He played on the band's first three albums - This Was, Stand Up, and Benefit - as well as their biggest hit Living in the Past. After leaving Jethro Tull, Cornick formed his own band, Wild Turkey, and was later a member of Paris with the American guitarist Bob Welch. Cornick continued to attend Tull fan conventions where he would "join in with gusto to rekindle the musical moments of the early repertoire", said vocalist and floutist Anderson. Cornick leaves behind his wife Brigitte Martinez-Cornick, his sons Drew and Alex Cornick, and his daughter Molly Cornick.

Am I missing something or is Barre interview oblivious to 'end of Tull' party line ? I thought that too I had to double check the date of the interview despite the headline.

Well worth re posting this link. Glenn Cornick interview about Jethro Tull, Wild Turkey.Tuesday, December 13, 2011 psychedelicbaby.blogspot.co.uk/2011/12/glenn-cornick-interview-about-jethro.html"I believe that we were successful because we worked harder than any other band in Britain. In the early days, we were playing for almost no money in tiny blues clubs all over the country and we played almost every night - maybe to only 40 or 50 people but we always put on a good show and all those people remembered us so that when we had our first album, they bought it and when we did bigger gigs, they all came to see us. For a time Ian and I lived in Luton in the worst little apartments you ever saw and we were so poor that we would share one can of stew or soup between us each evening. (Listen to the song 'We Used To Know' from 'Stand Up' as it tells that story). It was hard but it was also great because we were all doing what we really wanted and within months it improved."

hi - saw glenn perform with wild turkey at sheffield touring with you & me in the jungle cd - spent time with glenn, clive & gary (singer) - also saw Glenn join Micj Abrahams & Blodwyns at 100 club years ago (one of a new day's evenings) good fun - also attended the This Was reunion gig in 2003 at Leamington Spa which was wonderful on so many levels - I can remember Glenn being so excited & talking with everyone who approached him - my beloved wife Jackie &had a boliday in the Lake District & stayed in Barrow (the town Glenn lived in as a child) - we met him at the Laurel & Hardy museum in Ulveston - again, he was very giving of his time, we chatted (for a long time !) & laughed about music, life etc & have stayed in touch since via email - some of the stories & emails are unrepeatable but he was such a kind giving guy, always forthright & blunt in his opinionsabout the musicians he had worked with & the records he had made - as i mentioned in my original post I am going to miss Glenn's chats & music - have to admit i shed a tear or 10 when i heard the news & feel so sorry for his family - he will be a BIG miss for all of us & i can't imagine how his wife & kids must feel
