Interview with fiddler James Kelly

Interview with fiddler James Kelly

Date
Description
One audio cassette. Interview with Irish fiddler and master artist Kelly for the Folk Arts Apprentice Program. Held at his home in Miami Springs, Kelly discusses Irish music; his immigration from Ireland in 1976; his father, famed Irish fiddler John Kelly; learning fiddle music; Irish dancing; fiddling techniques; and his musical influences (jazz, rock and roll, and his father). Kelly served as a master artist in 1989 for Pam Carsey and Linda Gesele. For a second interview with Kelly (in 1986), see tape 11. The Folk Arts Apprenticeship Program began in 1983 with a NEA grant of $22,000. The program provided an opportunity for master folk artists to share technical skills and cultural knowledge with apprentices in order to keep the tradition alive. Apprentices must have had some experience in the tradition and agreed to train for at least six months. The first project director was Blanton Owen, later replaced by folklorist Peter Roller. The program was continued each year through 2003.

Date
1992-05-23
Description
Two audio cassette recordings. Jaime Bronsztein and James Kelly discuss their respective musical traditions (klezmer and Irish); how they are played; specific tunes such as the Hava Nagila (Yiddish) and O'Carolan's Concerto (Irish). They also discuss their family backgrounds, careers and George Phillips. They attempt to play an Irish-Israeli version of the Hava Nagila. Because this was the 40th festival, the Crossroads area was partly devoted to performers who contributed to the festival's past and development.
