from Part II - Sound, Roots, and Brian Jones
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 August 2019
The French philosophies of Gilles Deleuze (1925–95), in particular his theory of assemblage (introduced in his 1980 book with Félix Guattari, Mille plateaux), provide a useful approach towards understanding the musical and overall aesthetic contributions of Brian Jones. In this chapter, I will apply Deleuzean philosophical concepts to the life and world music interests of Jones as a means of highlighting his creative work as a “breath of fresh air” (un courant d’air) within the prevailing blues and rock standards and influences that have more consistently represented the Rolling Stones. In particular, I will explore the assemblage of life and musical events that make up the broad stylistic mixture we now associate with Jones, concentrating on his founding role and decade-long connection with the Rolling Stones.
