Esperanza Spalding Is a Surprise Winner at the Grammys - NYTimes.com
Ms. Spalding is something else: a charismatic whirlwind proudly hailed, for a while now, as some kind of vital infusion for jazz. Certainly she arrived with great reserves of talent and composure, becoming, at 20, one of the youngest musicians hired to teach at the Berklee College of Music, where she had just earned her degree. She released an auspicious instrumental debut, “Junjo” on the Ayva label in 2006, and an unfocused but appealing vocal follow-up, “Esperanza,” on Heads Up International in 2008. The album she released last year, also on Heads Up, is “Chamber Music Society,” which presents her lissome, light-gauge voice in a sparer light, framed by quietly sparkling arrangements.
既に有名らしいが、知らなかった・・(^_^;) 一度聴いてみよう。
20歳でバークレー音楽院の教師になったというのはすごい。その頃から将来を嘱望されていたのだろう。
