Michael Timothy 'Mick' Abrahams (born 7 April 1943, in Luton, Bedfordshire, England) was the original guitarist for Jethro Tull. He recorded the album This Was with the band in 1968, but conflicts between Abrahams and Ian Anderson over the musical direction of the band led Abrahams to leave once the album was finished. Abrahams wanted to pursue a more blues/rock direction, while Anderson wanted to incorporate more overt folk and jazz influences. He was replaced first by Tony Iommi who would leave Tull after only a few weeks and would later go on to form Black Sabbath, and then by Martin Barre who remains with Jethro Tull to this day.

  • Michael Timothy 'Mick' Abrahams (born 7 April 1943, in Luton, Bedfordshire, England) was the original guitarist for Jethro Tull. He recorded the album This Was with the band in 1968, but conflicts between Abrahams and Ian Anderson over the musical direction of the band led Abrahams to leave once the album was finished. Abrahams wanted to pursue a more blues/rock direction, while Anderson wanted to incorporate more overt folk and jazz influences. He was replaced first by Tony Iommi who would leave Tull after only a few weeks and would later go on to form Black Sabbath, and then by Martin Barre who remains with Jethro Tull to this day. Abrahams went on to found Blodwyn Pig and the group recorded two albums, Ahead Rings Out and Getting to This before breaking up in 1970. Abrahams soldiered on with the short-lived Wommet, then the Mick Abrahams Band and has continued to release albums by himself and with reunited versions of Blodwyn Pig. Abrahams caused some controversy in Tull fan circles for his formation of a band called This Was in the late 1990s, which reunited the members of the first incarnation of Jethro Tull (with the exception of Ian Anderson) to perform songs from that era of Jethro Tull's music. Tull fans disapproved but Ian Anderson apparently was not too offended, as in recent years Abrahams and Anderson have guested on each other's records. Abrahams has also participated in Jethro Tull reunions as well as one-off projects and gigs over the years. (en)
  • Mick Abrahams (né le 7 avril 1943 à Luton) est un guitariste anglais, co-fondateur du groupe Jethro Tull. Il enregistra l'album This Was en 1968 mais des conflits avec Ian Anderson sur les lignes musicales du groupe provoqua son départ. Abrahams voulait continuer sur une voie rock/blues, alors qu'Anderson privilégiait des influences jazz et folk. Abrahams fonda le groupe Blodwyn Pig et accueillit dans sa formation un autre membre de Jethro Tull, Clive Bunker. Après la dissolution de Blodwyn Pig, il continua une carrière solo. À la fin des années 1990, il provoqua une polémique chez les fans de Jethro Tull en formant un groupe nommé This Was, du même nom que le premier album du groupe. Cette formation musicale était composée des premiers membres de Jethro Tull, à l'exception de Ian Anderson. Catégorie:Naissance en 1943 Catégorie:Guitariste de rock (fr)

  • Michael Timothy "Mick" Abrahams nació el 7 de Abril de 1943 en Luton, Inglaterra y fue el guitarrista de Jethro Tull entre los años 1967 y 1968. Grabó con ellos el primer álbum del grupo, This Was, tras lo cual abandonó la banda por desavenencias con Ian Anderson sobre el rumbo musical que iba a tomar el grupo y por cuestiones de liderazgo. Mick Abrahams fue sustituido en Jethro Tull por Tony Iommi, que acabaría, finalmente, uniéndose al grupo Black Sabbath. Por último recalaría como guitarrista en los Tull Martin Barre, quien sigue hasta hoy. Tras su marcha de Jethro Tull formó Blodwyn Pig, banda con la que grabó dos discos, Ahead Rings Out y Getting to This antes de disolverse en 1970. En 1998 lideró una formación llamada The This Was Band, en honor al primer disco de Jethro Tull, con componentes de sus primeros tiempos, a excepción de Ian Anderson. El grupo recibió la desaprobación de los fans de Jethro Tull, aunque no fue mal vista por su líder, Ian Anderson. Incluso llegaron a colaboran recíprocamente en sus proyectos en solitario. En 1999, Mick Abrahams, con esta banda, lanzó al mercado, This Is!, una nueva versión del álbum original de los Jethro Tull This Was. (es)
  • Michael Timothy "Mick" Abrahams (s. 7. huhtikuuta 1943) on brittiläinen rockkitaristi. Hän oli Jethro Tullin alkuperäisjäsen, mutta jätti yhtyeen levytettyään sen kanssa debyyttialbumin This Was . Abrahamsin korvasi Jethro Tullin kokoonpanossa lyhyesti Tony Iommi, sitten vakituisesti Martin Barre. Abrahams perusti Jethro Tullista lähdettyään Blodwyn Pig -yhtyeen, ja hänellä on sittemmin ollut useita vähemmän tunnettuja projekteja. (fi)
  • Fu il primo chitarrista dei Jethro Tull, band con la quale registrò il primo album, This Was, nel 1968. A causa di contrasti con Ian Anderson dovuti a differenze di opinioni circa lo stile musicale che avrebbe dovuto perseguire il gruppo, decise di abbandonare la band nel novembre dello stesso anno, sostituito momentaneamente da Tony Iommi e definitivamente da Martin Barre. Fu così che Abrahams ebbe occasione di formare i Blodwyn Pig nel 1969 registrando due album, ma nel 1970 decise di abbandonare il mondo della musica per dedicarsi in pieno al suo lavoro di venditore di automobili, salvo poi ritornare sui suoi passi nel 1987 quando ricominciò a registrare sia come solista sia con i vecchi membri dei Blodwyn Pig. A fine anni novanta Abrahams formò una nuova band chiamata This Was, proprio come l'album d'esordio dei Jethro Tull, nella quale figurano alcuni dei vecchi membri del gruppo, escluso ovviamente Ian Anderson, e con cui si è esibito con le canzoni di quell'album. Questo ha causato malumori da parte di molti fan dei Jethro Tull anche se lo stesso Anderson non sembra essersela presa più di tanto se si pensa che quest'ultimo ha contribuito recentemente alla registrazione di alcuni pezzi di Abrahams comparendo anche in alcuni suoi tour.

  • Mick Abrahams (7 de abril de 1943 em Luton, Inglaterra) é o membro fundador e guitarrista original do Jethro Tull. Ele gravou o álbum This Was com a banda em 1968, mas divergências musicais entre Abrahams e Ian Anderson levaram o guitarrista a deixar o grupo. Abrahams queria seguir um estilo mais blues/rock, enquanto Anderson preferia incorporar influências jazz e folk ao som do Tull. Abrahams então formou o Blodwyn Pig, e o grupo lançou dois álbuns, Ahead Rings Out e Getting To This, antes de se separar em 1970. Abrahams continuou com a Mick Abrahams Band, lançando álbuns solo e com versões reformuladas da Blodwyn Pig. Abrahams causou polêmica entre fãs do Tull por sua participação em uma banda chamada This Was no final dos anos 90, que reunia os integrantes da primeira versão do Jethro Tull (com exceção de Ian Anderson) e apresentava canções daquela época da história da banda. Os fãs do Tull desaprovaram a idéia mas Anderson aparentemente não ficou tão ofendido, pois recentemente ele e Abrahams trocaram participações em seus projetos solo. (pt)
