Director Brewer visits Ian Anderson, uncovering rare footage and debunking myths about the revolutionary rock band Jethro Tull.

Even if their long career stalled at the start of the '70s, Jethro Tull would still go down in rock history for one crucial thing: They proved that the flute could be a killer rock 'n roll instrument. Frontman Ian Anderson has wielded the instrument - a favourite among middle-school-band girls and wandering minstrels for almost a thousand years - like a madman onstage, aggressively blowing solos usually reserved for guitars or saxophones.

In this Classic Artists Series Episode, Director Jon Brewer meets with Ian Anderson at his home in England and debunks the myths and is handed some exceptional rare footage. The band that changed Rock, a real Classic.
