Flute Solos Created By lan
Anderson
A
book of Ian Anderson flute solos, all early material. Very comprehensive
notes on Ian's techniques and such. And also a warning (don't let these techniques
become habit:-)
Tullworld.com Review in Short
Congratulations to the author and editors of this book
for attempting to capture Ian Anderson's most wild solo passages! Granted,
with some determination and lots of listening, Ian's solos could be
figured out... the hard part is finding out all of the other odd things he
does... The author of this book has done a wonderful job of accurately
notating this book, (including noting Ian's frequent use of harmonics,
dark tones, and singing/playing simultaneously.)
I found a few notes/rhythms that are different from the
actual sound recordings, but since most of Ian's work in this area is
improv, it can be interpreted many different ways.
All of these solos are from the late 60's/early 70's...
I would like to eventually see a book of some newer songs as well.
Overall, this is a very entertaining book, with some very challenging
passages... just make sure you have your favorite Tull CD's handy so that
you can play along!
