Kalm met Klassiek is jouw dagelijkse dosis klassieke ontspanning. Ken je dat gevoel, dat je in een heerlijk boek aan het lezen bent? Je wil er het liefst zo snel mogelijk met volle aandacht doorheen, omdat het je helemaal meeneemt; je niet loslaat. En voor je het weet ben je toegekomen aan de laatste 20 bladzijden - dat dubbele gevoel van uit willen lezen en tegelijkertijd niet klaar willen zijn met het boek? Dat heeft Ab met de muziek van vandaag. Heimwee naar een verloren tijd, naar de schoonheid in die muziek. 'Ashokan Farewell'. Kippenvel!

#243 - Afscheid - 'Ashokan Farewell' van Jay Ungar (S01)

Jay Ungar was born in the Bronx (New York City). He frequented Greenwich Village music venues during his formative period in the 1960s. In the late 1960s, he became a member of Cat Mother and the All Night News Boys and later, the Putnam String County Band. Although he performs with David Bromberg, he is probably best known for "Ashokan Farewell" (1982), composed as a lament, and used as the theme tune to the Ken Burns documentary The Civil War (1990).

A performance from Ozark Originals The Lazy Goat String Band.“He was a Bronx kid. She grew up in Washington State. He was raised on pop music of the 1940s and ’50s. She had a fondness for traditional fiddle music and ’30s and ’40s popular tunes. He hung out in Greenwich Village coffeehouses and roamed North Carolina and Tennessee in search of traditional players. She played clubs and colleges on the West Coast and took a liking to the jazzy sound of the Swing Era. Since joining forces—both artistically and romantically (the two would marry in 1991)—Jay Ungar and Molly Mason have become one of the most celebrated duos on the American acoustic music scene.It started with a chance meeting in the late 1970s. Jay and Molly were each performing at the Towne Crier, a rural New York club. They hit it off musically and played together from time to time until Molly headed off to Minnesota to work in the house band of a new radio show: Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion. Meanwhile, back in New York, Jay put together a band with fellow fiddlers Evan Stover and Matt Glaser and guitarist Russ Barenberg. When Fiddle Fever, as the collaboration was called, needed a bassist, Molly signed on. The group recorded two classic LPs, now available on CD as The Best of Fiddle Fever (Flying Fish Records).On radio and television, Jay and Molly have appeared on CBS Good Morning, The Rosie O’Donnel Show, All Things Considered, A Prairie Home Companion, and the BBC’s Transatlantic Sessions.
