Okay, who is this Lady with this exotic name? Unfortunately there ain't many infos around yet. But this french female artist lives in Straßbourg and has grown up with music, since she was 6 years young. Saori Jo started writing songs, when she was 11. She sings and she plays piano . Her performance reminds a bit like a mixture of Tori Amos and Kathy Malua. Elements of Rock and pop go hand in hand with chanson and classical tunes, sung in english and french. Her songs are full of emotions and feelings with a little melancholic touch. Soft but also powerful, that's the best way to describe her. Here in Munich she is accompanied on stage by guitarrist Miguel Ruiz
That's it
about. But let's hope, that we will hear more of Saori Jo in the near
future, when her name and talent has become a little more known. She
definately deserves it.
Most of
their songs are so well known, that those always belong to the standard
setlist, as well as the flute playing derwish Ian Anderson. No, he doesn't
look so grumpy anymore like in the seventies. But he still seems very
youthful and fit, jumping around on stage like a super sportsman and
playing his special instrument and singing almost at the same time. Yes,
he is very photogenic, you gotta give him that, though it is only
alowed to shoot pics from the very right side of the photopit. And this
can be a bit of a problem, when there are more than 15 photographers,
squeezing each other almost to marmelade. But somehow we can manage in the
end.
But in the end, Jethro Tull always was and still is in first place Ian Anderson and nobody else. He defines the music and whatever happens. And he takes most of the place on stage with his aura, his movement, which seems almost like a marathon.
The action is underlined with the biggest hits of Jethro Tull. For instance it's the adoption of the Bourree from the suite (BWV 996) of Johann Sebastian Bach, which is included on the second album of Tull - 'Stand Up' (1969) However, it's this very own individual translation of this piece of music, which makes it to something special. And it rocks, it really does....
The
biggest aces come in the end with hits like 'Thick As A Brick' and of
course 'Aqualung'. And the reaction of the audiance is once again
phantastic. The encore - guess....?! Right - of course 'Locomotive Breath',
which, by the way, has only ever been a hit here in Germany. But without
this song a Jethro Tull concert wouldn't be a Jethro Tull concert, would
it?! That's it again - exactly 1 hour and 40 minutes pure nostalgy and
much Rock'n'Roll. And I bet, next time we are all back again...... |
