Presentation of graphics by Paweł Kłaput in the Klub Studio Paweł Kłaput Artist Fb LINK He was born in Andrychow (Southern Poland). He is still alive. And lives in Kęty Podlesie. His drawings are made by using black ink, saliva, and coated paper. To create his works he needs a strong inspiration. He often does not find it. Then he does not create...
For many years he has been a great fan of Jethro Tull and Celtic Glasgow.
"Paweł Kłaput's graphics and drawings presented on exhibition are overflowed with deconstructive visions from the borderland of reality and dream, good and evil, darkness and light, suffering and death. These suspended in real unreality and unreal reality visions emerge from hidden at the bottom of the soul gloomy zones of mind.
They may not please, but they do not have to, as it is not their role.
They may annoy and irritate, although not necessarily.
They may both sieve anxiety in minds and tranquillise weary with inconveniences of life souls.
Most important that they do not allow to remain indifferent... " „Tyle Światów” Gallery, Oświęcim, 1999

JETHRO TULL by Ian Anderson - Historische Stadthalle Wuppertal - 26.09.2017 LINK The Stadthalle Wuppertal (official name: Historic Stadthalle am Johannisberg) is one of the city's most important sights and at the same time known worldwide as a concert and event venue because of its unique acoustics. (Source: Wikipedia)
JETHRO TULL by Ian Anderson Originally built as a figurehead for prosperity and self-confidence of the then independent Wuppertal district Elberfeld in the years 1896-1900 in the style of the Neo-Renaissance, the Stadthalle is today the home of the Wuppertal Symphonic Orchestra.
So in terms of age, this location suited Jethro Tull ...
Ok, Ian Anderson is touring with Jethro Tull on his 50th anniversary, when the Stadthalle is a few days older.
As in politics, there are also different camps in music. In my youth, there was the Pink Floyd and Genesis camps on the one hand and the Jethro Tull camp on the other. I belonged to the first one.
Of course I also know the two best known songs "Aqualung" and "Locomotive Breath", but then it stops already. All the more I was interested to experience this band live and to get closer to the music.
Two blocks of about 55 minutes each with a short break were planned.
Again to the location. I have to say, that is indeed an impressive construction. You felt transported back in time. This neo-renaissance style with gold-white interior and probably formerly huge chandeliers, which had to give way to more modern, but no less impressive candelabra, is really extraordinary.
The musicians touring with Ian Anderson under the name of Jethro Tull are all masters of their craft.
The German Florian Ophale on guitar, has already worked with well-known greats such as Greg Lake (King Crimson), Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden) and Justin Hayward (The Moody Blues). In addition, he has completed the master class of the classical Japanese master guitar Masayuki Kato and, for example, collaborated with Al Di Meola and John McLaughlin.
On the drum set, which was unusually positioned on the right edge of the stage, sat Scott Hammond. The British rock-influenced jazz drummer has also worked with Greg Lake, Bruce Dickinson, and Justin Hayward, and otherwise tours the Scott Hammond Quartet, which includes his wife Ruth.
Keyboarder John O'Hara has been working with Ian Anderson since 2007. He was commissioned in 2004 to compose a children's opera for the Welsh National Opera. Since this opera was a huge success, he got the job for two more pieces.
David Goodier is the man for the four thick strings. The original drama teacher returned to his first love, music, many years ago. Since 2002 he has been touring around the world with Ian Anderson.
The 70 Lenzen one did not notice the "one-legged" flute player entering the stage and during the whole concert. For 50 years now he is standing on one leg and still does not wobble. Overall, he looked fit like a sneaker.
The historic concert hall was sold out with about 1440 seats, and the fans had as expected the necessary maturity for this band. Once again, I have gained the impression of reducing my average age with my appearance.
As already briefly mentioned, I do not count myself to the Jethro Tull fans. Maybe I was only born a few years late at the age of 54.
The fans were certainly excited about the show. On the left side of the stage the keyboard and on the right the drum set, the middle part of the stage in the background was determined by a big screen and in the foreground by Ian, David and Florian.
Of course I had already seen a few videos about songs by Jethro Tull. I also knew the one-legged flute playing. Somewhat weird was the way Ian sang. At certain tones or to change the vocal volume, he stands on tiptoe. This really looks very funny in the long run. I had never seen anything like that before.
The only two songs I knew came at the end of the event. Ian played "Aqualung" as the last title of the second set. The audience was excited. The first and, unfortunately, the only addition after just over two hours was "Locomotive Breath". Many fans stormed to the stage to see their idol up close. I took advantage of this opportunity (of course after previous consultation with the tour manager) to come forward and take some more photos as we were only allowed to shoot the first two songs from the side. I think that has slightly improved the yield of the pictures.

Concert at Haus Auensee Jethro Tull: Never too old for rock'n'roll LINK Their milestones in music history are "Thick As A Brick" to say it with a title of this band. On Saturday Jethro Tull offered a cross-section of their work at Haus Auensee Leipzig - and tore the audience off the seats in the finale !!!Leipzig. Hard to estimate how many hundreds of concerts the man has already completed. 70 is Ian Anderson, 50 is the project Jethro Tull. Something comes together. Nevertheless, the probability that the show on Saturday in Leipzig sold out Auensee house was the first, before the quasi pre-program a real steed from iron one of the biggest hits of the band before blew: Near the entrance groaning and sounded the small old park railway - almost as old as Anderson - past lantern rides through the darkness at the entrance. So he breathes already, the "Locomotive Breath".
And inside, your breath stops short: concerts by one of the giants of rock history have meanwhile been seated. So far it is already. Nothing with dancing, nothing with disengagement or air guitar. This is quite difficult when a program starts so fluffy with "Livin In The Past" and "Thick As A Brick" already in fourth place on the setlist appears. Mister Anderson's voice is still as stable as his famous stand on one leg with the many flute solos. He still cranks his neck up while singing and raises his heels as if the microphone were set too low.
On the huge video screen the film of a long career is over - in concert and music video snippets or lines of text. Getting used to the fact that singer and violinist Unnur Birna Björnsdóttir is leaked by canned film - but does not change the first-class craft of the live musicians around Anderson. John O'Hara, for example, can make wonderful music on the keyboards, if he is allowed to. And Florian Opahle from Rosenheim masterfully pulls strings - his hard-filigree guitar version of Bach's D minor toccata is fantastically murmuring and grating. Not the only bow to Leipzig's great cantor, because a Bourrée is also on the plan.
Two net hours (there is a break) will take you on a journey through the metamorphoses of Jethro Tull, from progressive rock to folk music, hard rock and world music. Whenever it gets a bit mediocre, Ophale sings with his riffs in between. And of course, there is this Ian Anderson who wipes across the stage with his flute, so unusual for the genre, and he gives a very special sound with sharp blowing, flapping tongues, or simultaneous rumbling or moaning from the vocal cords.
Time is a joke on the band's head, as Anderson himself notes when he, now a 70-year-old, announces the 1976 song "Too Old To Rock 'n' Roll: Too Young To Die". No, he is not too old for that. And the audience is still young enough not to sit on chairs. Or not? Even at "Aqualung", a self-forgetful person with guitar poses and wild dance just celebrates this stunning song. Only with "Locomotive Breath" - which is a masterpiece of rock history - is over sitting. The elaborate concert ends in euphoria. Sure, "Pussy Willow" would have been nice. But you can not have everything from 50 years of career. Heavy on the move: Ian Anderson and guitarist Florian Opahle photo: Andre Kempne

TULL Party in Uruguay October 17, 2017 !!! THE BEST OF JETHRO TULL BY IAN ANDERSON LINK By SANTIAGO MÉNDEZ | October 18, 2017 at 23:54 545 The night of October 17, 2017 will remain in the memory of many like that of April 16, 2005 where Anderson with the Philharmonic of Montevideo, full of music a Summer Theater packed with audiences who enjoyed his presentation.
This time, the musician who is a soloist since 1983, brought us to the same place but in the classic rock band format, the best of Jethro Tull (The Best of Jethro Tull tour).
The night lent itself, since the climate was propitious and the public (great concurrence) arrived little by little to its seats while a DJ entertained what was the previous one of Anderson and its band.
Several people, notorious followers of the musician in the seventies and late sixties, eagerly awaited to hear live again those mythical songs of the band.
Anderson, celebrating his 49-year career, brought with him a very good support band. Young members and others of their own generation make up their current company. An electric guitar, drums, keyboard, bass and Ian in traverse flute, harmonica, voice and acoustic guitar.
All of them showed off throughout the show as it usually happens in a classic show of the style but also has a very large screen that reflects part of the career of the musician and several audiovisual productions of the band taking advantage of the reason for the tour.
Throughout the night they played classic songs like A Song for Jeffrey, Thick as a Brick, Too Old to Rock n Roll: To Young to Die, Living in the Past and the infaltables Aqualung and Locomotive Breath, among others.
The sound of the band was impeccable, of extreme prolijidad and taking care of in volume the voice of Anderson, that although for obvious reasons it is not the same one that 40 years ago, it enjoys very good health.
He does not lack as usual the great sense of humor of the musician between subject and theme and the typical dances he performs with his transverse flute.
As for Jethro Tull, it was characterized as a band that mixed aspects of classical music, baroque and rock n roll, all put in the same container. The result was an own style and therefore self-constructor of the identity of the band.
Seeing once again this mythical protagonist of twentieth-century music live, there is nothing left to wish the return to our country as soon as possible, as new generations whose personal taste is inclined to rock, can not stop listening to the Anderson's proposal.
Musical legacies like those that happened a few hours ago in the Summer Theater should always be present in the memory of music, and what better to enjoy them at home.
