My video of the Master Musicians of Jajouka at the Ottawa Blues Fest July 13,2008:
SITE NAVIGATION:
Brian Jones was very multi-talented, artistic, open, progressive, ambitious, eloquent,
sensitive, complex, flamboyant, and had a great sense of humour. He had his faults,
but who doesn't have faults? He also had alot of good in him, which
tends to get forgotten and ignored with all the myths out there about him.
He was a free spirit who epitomised the sixties! I know if Brian was still
alive today, he'd be involved in the cutting edge of the music scene and would
still have a tremendous impact. Even now his spirit lives on.
This website is devoted to Brian's continuing influence today, with an emphasis on
the
Master Musicians
of Jajouka. Not only did Brian found the Stones, he brought the
Master Musicians
of Jajouka
to world-wide attention. Initially he intended for the
music to be sampled
by the Stones, but was unable to persuade them to do so.
He was
planning on
combining
the Jajouka music with blues, trad jazz, and gospel
in addition to
the supergroup he was forming before he was likely murdered. Take
a
listen to their
latest CD "The Master Musicians of Jajouka with Bacchir Attar"
produced by Talvin Singh (2000).
The music of the Master Musicians
of Jajouka was also in the soundtrack of the
movies 'The Cell' and 'Naked Lunch'.
It was also featured on the sublime Stones song
"Continental Drift".
"Some human encounters can be particularly fateful, such as when painter
Brion Gysin introduced his friend Brian Jones to the transcendental mountain village
of Jajouka in 1968.
The symbiosis that followed magnetized the world forever after
to
the Master Musicians of Jajouka.
After Jones' contact, the Rolling Stones connected
to them
and that
treasured relationship, which
exists to this day,
transmitted the magic to the rest
of us.....
The
"Brian Jones Presents the Pipes Of Pan" album came out in 1971 and the
audience
for the supernatural band became global......It seems as if the sheer
effrontery of the Stones'
side of the sixties had to experience the sheer extremism
of
Jajouka, and
we in turn had
to experience Morocco's master shaman
through rock's most Dionysian
expressive force.
Now the
music of Jajouka is in the good hands of Bacchir Attar."
*Please note this site is my personal tribute to Brian, and focuses on the here & now,
Jajouka, and Brian as a Rolling Stone & my love of the band Brian founded.
This was an an aspect missing on the worldwideweb, so I designed this site to be
different. It's not meant to be the definitive site on Brian.*
I've been a Stones fan
for 20 years. For me, Mick Jagger, Brian Jones, Mick Taylor & Ron Wood are
all fantastic, very different from each other, and each of the guitarists had a
purpose & filled that purpose very well. Much gratitude to Bill Wyman who was
a friend to Brian, and for all he has done to preserve Brian's memory & give
Brian his due in Stone Alone and Rolling With The Stones.
I've never known a world without the sun, the moon, the stars & the Stones!!
Enjoy the site. Suggestions welcome. Peace, love and jajouka to you.
