Andrew Fredrick Jones (born June 24, 1969) is a Jamaican–American sinologist, musicologist, writer and translator. He is the a professor and Agassiz Professor of Chinese Endowed Chair at the University of California, Berkeley and a Guggenheim Fellow; best known as the author of a trilogy of books on contemporary Chinese music and as the translator of the fiction of Yu Hua and Eileen Chang.

Early life and education

Andrew F. Jones was born in the United States and grew up in northern California. As a child, he often listened to reggae records bought in Jamaica when he and his parents visited their family; he has since cited this as the beginning of his interest in national musicology. He first gained an interest in Chinese history reading about the Communist Revolution, naming Edgar Snow's Red Star Over China (1937) as a particular influence. In 1982, aged 13, he attended a summer exchange program in China and began to learn Mandarin Chinese. He went on to major in East Asian Languages and Civilizations at Harvard University, studying Chinese and Japanese literature. At this time, Jones also took an interest in British cultural studies, especially the work of sociologist Stuart Hall.

Academic career

1988–1997:

In 1988, while still an undergraduate, Andrew F. Jones won a scholarship to Peking University to study Chinese and Chinese Literature. There, Jones read the 18th-century Chinese vernacular novel Dream of the Red Chamber in detail. This time also marked the beginning of his preoccupation with contemporary Chinese music, becoming active in the Beijing Rock and Roll scene during Cui Jian's rise to popularity. In 1989, he was witness to the Tiananmen Square Massacre; on this subject Jones wrote a peice of journalism for the Harvard student magazine Perspective, winning Rolling Stone's College Journalism Award in 1990. The same year, Jones returned to China to conduct research for his graduating dissertation, which would later become his first book, Like a Knife: Ideology and Genre in Contemporary Chinese Popular Music, published by Cornell Universtiy Press in 1992. The text is based on interviews given to Jones by both musicians of the tongsu (state-sanctioned popular music) and yoagun (rock music) genres. Like a Knife was the first English-language study on the emergance of yaogun and its dichotomy with tongsu.

Jones graduated from Harvard and enrolled as a graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1992. He was awarded his doctorate degree in 1997.

2001–2012: Yellow Music

Jones's next book,Yellow Music: Media Culture and Colonial Modernity in the Chinese Jazz Age, was published by Duke University Press in 2001. The text explores Yellow Music (Chinese, western-influenced popular music dating from the 1920s to 1940s that would later become Shidaiqu) with reference to the influence of White Russian and Jewish émigré whom Pathé Records had employed in Shanghai. Yellow Music likewise identifies the influence of African American jazz musicians, such as Buck Clayton, who began his career as a bandleader in Shanghai, on the emergence of contemporary Chinese music. Jones also writes at length on the musical artist Li Jinhui, explicating his usage of children's music to advance the latter's aim of rendering Mandarin Chinese the default national language.

In 2012 Jones was a CRASSH Visiting Fellow at the University of Cambridge.
