Always loved BP. True groundbreakers melding jazz with rock. Abrahams is a fantastic guitarist. My favorite Jethro Tull album is their first, the one with Abrahams.
Ron Berg was a killer drummer, right up there with Clive Bunker, Baker, Mitchell, Bonham, Moon, and Paice. When this tune moves into that rapid walking bass line it takes off like a rocket...kicks arse man. It that don't move ya....you've got nothing inside you.
Actually, the range of notes you can play on a sax using your right hand is pretty limited. (middle G to F.) The (curiously) bent soprano plays an octave higher than the tenor, so he's just playing the same notes on it as the tenor. Gimmick. If you want to see someone playing THREE saxes at once, try searching for Rahsaan Roland Kirk on here.
@Davesax1965 john coltrane played a straight soprano sax joe lovano plays a straight tenor sax sometimes it looks like a sword ian anderson met roland kirk at newport in 69 after ripping off his flute sound for a few years roland kirk had a metal rod welded between the 2 saxes so he could finger note all over them the third sax was used for drone notes
Are they playing as a three piece in this vid? I don't see Mick Abrahams
