Glenn Cornick (born April 23, 1947) was the first bass player in the rock band Jethro Tull. He separated from the band in 1970, after their third album Benefit. Ever the party animal, Glenn grew apart from the other band members during 1970. This was a reflection, not of Glenn's social waywardness, but of the reclusive and insular nature of the other guys' rather private and atypical lifestyles.
Glenn was "invited to leave" by manager Terry Ellis but given due support and encouragement to form his own Chrysalis Records signed band "Wild Turkey" which enjoyed some success with records and tours supporting Black Sabbath and, amongst others, Jethro Tull.
He then moved, first to Berlin, and later to the US where he formed "Paris" with Bob Welch, ex-Fleetwood Mac. This partnership continued until 1977 when Glenn gave up music for about ten years, becoming the sales manager of a food company.
Glenn continues to play music today in a variety of projects, including a reformed Wild Turkey who have released three more albums, including "Live in Edinburgh" (2001).
As a bassist, he displays a fast and inventive style, heavily influenced by Jet Harris. He appears to have preceded Jaco Pastorius by stripping the frets off his Fender Jazz Bass. His "zoned-out student" image was as much a trademark of the early Jethro Tull as Ian Anderson's one-legged flute-playing.
Glenn is a frequent visitor to J.T. fan conventions around the world. And, curiously, he is the only one of the early Tulls to still look, a little anyway, like his original press photos. "From www.j-tull.com"
