ʻO 35 mau makahiki he lā koʻikoʻi i ke ola o kēlā me kēia kanaka. Ua mana'o'ia i kēia mau makahiki e kū pono ke kanaka ma kona mau wāwae, e ho'okō i ka holomua ma kāna 'oihana a me kona ola pilikino. Akā ma ka hana hoʻomohala ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī, ʻoi aku hoʻi i ke mele.
Pehea e ʻike pono ai i ke ala e holomua ai ʻoe? A ma ke ala e like me ka jazz, aneane hiki ʻole ke ʻike ʻia. ʻAʻole hiki ke aʻo ʻia ka jazz maoli, pono ke ola.
A ua hoʻokō ʻo Esperanza Spaulding i kēlā. Ua hoʻololi ʻo ia i kona ola i haku mele jazz āna i hauʻoli ai iā ia iho a kaʻana like me kāna poʻe hoʻolohe.
ʻEhia mau mea pāʻani jazz bass āu i ʻike ai? Hoʻomanaʻo koke wau i nā inoa o nā virtuosos e like me Markus Miller, Jaco Pastorius, nona nā manamana lima e pono ai ʻoe e pule.
E nānā i nā inoa o nā kāne. ʻO nā wahine "ma ka bass", ʻo ke kupuna wahine ʻo Suzi Quatro wale nō ka manaʻo, nāna i lawe i nā memo 4 wale nō no nā makahiki he ʻehā.
ʻO kahi bassist jazz he mea ʻokoʻa maoli. Ua like ia me ka wahine astronaut i hele i waho. ʻO nā manamana lima holoi ʻia, ʻoki mau ʻia nā kui a me nā ami ʻeha o nā lima mai nā ala wikiwiki.
ʻAe, ʻaʻole nui nā kaikamahine i hiki ke hoʻomanawanui i kēia. Inā ʻo Nadezhda kou inoa, ʻo ia ke ʻano o ka inoa ʻo Esperanza ma ka unuhi. ʻO kēia wale nō ke ala e hiki ai iā lākou ke kapa i kēia mea hoʻokani akamai me nā leo ʻike ʻole.
Ua kākau ʻo Seattle Times Company e pili ana i ke kaikamahine ʻaʻole hiki ke pale aku. ʻO kāna pāʻani ʻana i ka pahu pālua, i hui pū ʻia me ke mele, "hanau" i kahi hula unuhi.
Hāʻawi nā kaula ʻehā o ka pahu pālua i kahi kani kū hoʻokahi. Loaʻa i kēlā me kēia me kona ʻano kūʻokoʻa a me kona kani ponoʻī.
Ka hānau ʻana o kahi hōkū liʻiliʻi
Ua hānau ʻia ʻo ʻOkakopa 18, 1984 ma Portland, he keiki kūpaʻa a maikaʻi ʻo Esperanza mai kona wā kamaliʻi. ʻAʻole hiki ke hana ʻē aʻe, no ka mea, ua lilo ka makuahine i mea hoʻohālike i ka hānai ʻana i ke kaikamahine a me kona kaikunāne.
ʻO ke kaikamahine me ke aloha kūikawā a me ka mahalo i wehewehe i kēia wahine ikaika a kū hoʻokahi i hiki ke hana i hoʻokahi miliona mau mea i kona ola.
Ua hana ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he kahu palaoa, kamana, keiki makua ʻole a me ka hui unionist me Cesar Chavez.
I ka makahiki 4, ua hoʻoholo ke kaikamahine e hoʻohui i kona ola me ke mele, i ʻike mua i ka hana a ka mea hoʻokani pila Kina ʻo Yo-Yo Ma. ʻAʻole kēia he maximalism kamaliʻi, ʻike a koʻikoʻi kona makemake.
Ke kākau inoa ʻana i kahi kula mele, no nā kumu olakino, ua koi ʻia ka mea hana e hiki mai ana e hele i ka hapa nui o ka papahana ma ka home.
Ma hope o ka loa'a'ana o nā mākau o ka ho'okani pila iā ia iho, ho'okahi makahiki ma hope mai, ua ho'omaka ke kaikamahine pa'akikī e komo i ka hana o ka Oregon Chamber Orchestra.
ʻO ia ka manawa i hoʻomaka ai ʻo ia e hoʻomaʻamaʻa koʻikoʻi i nā bass pālua a pili kokoke i ka honua jazz. Ma hope o kona puka ʻana mai ke kula kiʻekiʻe, ua komo ʻo Esperanza i ke Kulanui o Portland, e koho ana i ke Keʻena ʻOihana Mele a me nā Noi.
Akā, ua pau koke ke aʻo ʻana i ke kaikamahine, ʻoiai ʻaʻole nui ka manawa i hoʻolaʻa pololei ʻia i nā haʻawina mele.
Ua koi ʻia ke kaikamahine e lawe i nā haʻawina mai nā kumu ma kahi kaʻawale a pāʻani i kahi hui, a ua hiki iā ia ke hoʻopaʻa i kekahi mau mele.
No ka makemake hou aku, ua ne'e aku ke kaikamahine i ke Kulanui kaulana o Berkeley, kahi i loaa ai iaia he kekelē hanohano i loko o ekolu makahiki o ka hooikaika ana a lilo i kumu muli loa.
I ka makahiki 21, ua loaʻa i ke kaikamahine kūpaʻa ke poʻo inoa o ka lanakila o kekahi o nā haʻawina hanohano loa o ke kaiāulu jazz ma Boston.
Kaha A
Ma hope o ke aʻo ʻana i ka mālama ʻana i ka puʻupuʻu, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaka palekana i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka pāʻani ma ke kaula A. E lilo ke mele i ʻoi aku ka melodic a me ka hoihoi. Mai makaʻu ʻoe e ʻoki i nā calluses, ma kēia ala e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke aʻo ʻaʻole e hemo i nā kaula ʻelua.
Ma hope o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o ka album mua, hoʻomaka ka poʻe hoʻohewa e kamaʻilio e pili ana i ka bassist ʻōpio. Ua ʻike ʻia nā pepa pepa me kona inoa i loko o nā keʻena no nā mea aloha jazz. Ke hana nei i kahi duet me ka jazz vocalist ʻo Patti Austin, ua aʻo ke kaikamahine i ka mālama ʻana i ka manaʻo o ka poʻe hoʻolohe.
I ka makahiki 2008, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka album studio aʻe ʻo Esperanza, kahi i hoʻokani ai ka mea mele jazz piha ʻo Esperanza i nā haku mele ma ka ʻōlelo Pelekania, Paniolo a me Pukiki. Ua hui pū ʻia nā manaʻo no ka album.
ʻAʻole kēia i pale i ka mea mele hoʻoholo i ke komo ʻana i nā ʻahaʻaina jazz, ʻoiai ke komo pū ʻana i ka hanana Nobel Peace Prize.
ʻO ka nani o ke kaula D
Ua loaʻa iā Esperanza kahi helu nui o nā makana ma 2011. ʻO "Jazz Artist of the Year", "Grammy", "Best New Artist", e lanakila ana iā Justin Bieber. Ua lilo kāna album i mea kūʻai maikaʻi loa o ka makahiki.
Ma 2012, ua hana ʻo ia i ka mea hiki ʻole ma ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i ka Radio Music Society. Ua hoʻokō ʻo ia i ka lawe ʻana i nā improvisation jazz i ke ʻano lekiō. ʻAʻohe kanaka i hana i kēia ma mua ona.
I ka makahiki 2013, ua loa'a i ka mea mele nā makana Grammy hou. E like me ka ʻae ʻana o ka mea leo leo, bassist a me ka haku mele, ʻo nā makana iā ia he mea hoʻoikaika no ka hoʻomohala hou ʻana.
ʻO G-string nani a lahilahi
Hoʻohui ka leo i ka versatility i ke kani. ʻAʻole naʻe mākou e poina i ka haki ʻana o kēia kaula.
mea mele i kēia lā
I kēia lā, hoʻomau ʻo Esperanza i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i nā album, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka mea hope loa i ka makahiki 2016, i kēia manawa ke hana nei lākou i kahi album hou a hana i ka leʻaleʻa o nā connoisseurs a me nā mea pā o ka jazz maoli.
Ke hoʻomau nei kona ola i ka jazz, a ke manaʻoʻiʻo nei mākou e kali ana nā lanakila hou a me nā lanakila ma mua.
