EspañolDEE PALMER
'Dee Palmer' (born 'David Palmer' on July 2, 1937, in London) is a British arranger and keyboardist best known for having been a member of the rock group Jethro Tull.
Palmer studied music at the Royal Military School of Music and at the Royal Academy of Music, majoring in composition and winning the Eric Coates Prize.
Palmer arranged string, brass, and woodwind parts for Jethro Tull songs in the late 1960s and early 1970s, before formally joining the group in 1976, mainly playing electronic keyboard instruments. In 1980, leader Ian Anderson intended to release a record with other musicians as a side project under the name "Ian Anderson" but was persuaded by his record company to release it instead under the name "Jethro Tull". This resulted in every member of the group, including Palmer, leaving except guitarist Martin Barre and Anderson himself. Palmer formed a new group, Tallis, with former Jethro Tull pianist and organist John Evan. The new group was not commercially successful, and Palmer returned to film scoring and sessions.
Beginning in the 1980s, Palmer produced several albums of orchestral arrangements of the music of various rock groups, including Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, Genesis, Yes, the Beatles and Queen.
In 2004, Palmer's first name was changed to Dee, after Palmer announced having undergone sex reassignment surgery.
