Yenza iSonto Uvakashele eMorris-Jumel Indlu Yomuzi & Jazz Parlor
Kukhona abesifazane ababili abalulekile abathandi bemyuziyamu okudingeka bavakashele endaweni yaseHarlem yaseNew York: u-Eliza Jumel noMarjorie Eliot.
U-Eliza Jumel, owayengowesifazane ocebile kakhulu waseMelika, wafa eminyakeni engaphezu kwekhulu edlule, kodwa umoya wakhe ushicilelwe kabanzi ukuthi uyamhlonipha uMorris-Jumel Mansion , indlu endala kunazo zonke. UMarjorie Eliot nokho, uphila kakhulu, futhi i-jazz yakhe ye-jazz salon iyimyuziyamu ephilayo ye-Harlem Renaissance.
Uye wabizwa ngokuthi umlando wamasiko yi-CityLore: i-New York Center ye-Urban Folk Culture, kanye neKomiti Yabahlali baseNew York City.
Ukudla kwasemini eHarlem, khona-ke hamba uvakashele uMorris Jumel Mansion ngo-2pm. Hlola ikhalenda ukuze ubone ukuthi kukhona ikhonsathi noma uhlelo oluqhubekayo (ngokuvamile lukhona) bese uhamba ibhulogi ukuya ku-555 Edgecombe Avenue, i-Apartment 3F. Umculo uvame ukuqala ngo-4: 00, kepha isixuku esikhulu somakhelwane kanye nezivakashi zaseYurophu cishe zizohlala zihlala zonke izihlalo ngaleso sikhathi. Ngokuvamile isixuku siphumelela emgwaqweni wesakhiwo sefulethi sangaphambili.
Le ngqungquthela yaseManhattan ibhekene ne-beaten-path for lovers of museum eNew York. Kodwa-ke, imigwaqo ngokwawo injengomyuziyamu ophilayo kuya eMelika Revolution kanye neHarlem Renaissance. I-Roger Morris Park ezungeza iMansion ikuvumela ukuthi ucabange okwesikhashana lokho okumele kubonakale khona endaweni lapho bekuyi-pastoral futhi ingaphandle kwemingcele yedolobha laseNew York.
Zonke ezungeze iJumel Terrrace ziyi-brownstones enhle eyakhiwe ngasekupheleni kweminyaka engu-1800 eyabe yaya ekhaya izikhanyiso ze-Harlem Renaissance. UPaul Robeson wayehlala emzini ngokuya ngaphesheya komgwaqo ukusuka eMansion. Futhi eseduze kukhona okuyimfihlo, ngokuqokwa kuphela iMyuziyamu Yezobuciko kanye Neziqalo eziphethwe nguDkt. George Preston.
I-Morris-Jumel Mansion ngaphakathi kweRoger Morris Park yakhiwa yiziNgqungquthela zaseNgilandi ezashiya indlu lapho i-American Revolution iqala. Kamuva wathengwa ngu-Eliza noStephen Jumel owayenamakhulu amahektare esakhiwo esivumelwaneni. UStephen Jumel, umthengisi wewayini waseBordeaux watshala amagilebhisi endaweni engakhula ngayo namuhla e-Highbridge Park ngqo phambi kwesakhiwo sefulethini sikaMarjorie Eliot. Njengoba leli zwe lithengiswa futhi igridi lomuzi lakhiwa nxazonke zendawo yeJumel, indawo yahlala. Okuphawulekayo kwakuyi-"Nickel Triple" isakhiwo esakhiwa isiteketiso esinikezwa nguDuke Ellington.
UMarjorie uhlale lapho iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-30. I-lobby enhle kakhulu ihlotshiswe ngamafriza ama-Renaissance nama-plailing ayo eyenziwe nge-Tiffany glass.
"Kukhona induduzo lapha. Umqondo womndeni ugcwele," kusho uMarjorie. UDuke Ellington wahlala esakhiweni. Kanjalo u-Count Basie, uJackie Robinson noPaul Robeson bathiwa abambalwa.
Phakathi nesonto, uMarjorie udala uhlelo lweSonto elizayo. Akuyona neze inhlangano ye-jam - kungumkhonsathi futhi abaculi bakhokhelwa. Noma kunjalo, indlu ye-jazz ayikho imali yokungena futhi uMarjorie uzimisele ngokuqinile ukuyigcina ngaleyo ndlela.
Ukholelwa ukuthi imali ayikwazi ukuba yinto ecacile nokuthi akukho lutho oluhle ngalo.
"Ubuntu bethu yiyona nto. I-Jazz ingumculo womuntu wase-Afrika-waseMelika," uyachaza. "Ngizama ukudala imvelo yokulwela ubuciko. Ukudabuka nokuhlupheka kokuphila - lezozinto zihlale zikhona. Kodwa zihlinzeka ngezimo zokukhuluma futhi ... kuhle, kuyisimangaliso!"
I-jazz ye-parlor yazalwa ngengozi. Ngo-1992, indodana kaMarjorie uPhillip washona ngenxa yesifo sezinso. UMarjorie, umlingisi oqeqeshiwe kanye nomculi oqeqeshwe owayekade ejwayele indawo yesehlakalo saseGreenwich Village, waphendukela kuphiyano yakhe ukuze athole induduzo.
Lokhu kwaholela ekhonsathini ememori kaPhillip ematsheni omuzi waseMorris-Jumel. Ngokushesha ngemva kwalokho, uMarjorie wanquma ukwenza iSonto le-Sunday ntambama.
"Ngangifuna ukuthatha indaba edabukisayo ngiyenze ibe into ejabulisayo," esho.
Ngemva kokudumala ngendlela umculo we-jazz nabaculi ababephathwa ngayo ngabanikazi beqembu, wanquma ukuphatha i-jazz salon yomphakathi ekhaya lakhe siqu. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, unikeze ikhonsathi njalo ngeSonto kusukela ngo-4: 00 kuya ku-6: 00 ebusuku.
Ngonyaka ubuye abe nekhonsathi emagqabeni eMorris-Jumel Mansion lapho konke kuqale khona. Ngokuyinhloko, uthanda ukuqaphela izigqila ezazikade zihlala futhi zisebenza endlini. Lapho iNqabayokulinda isebenza njengendlunkulu yezempi eGeorge Washington , izigqila zazihlala. Kamuva u-Ann Northup, umkaSolomon Northup wasebenza njengompheki eMansion ngenkathi indoda yakhe, indoda emnyama yamahhala evela eNew York, ilahlekile ngemuva kokuba idakamizwa, ithunjiswe futhi ithengiswe ngabathengisi bezinceku eNingizimu. Ngenhlanhla wabhala ngokuhlangenwe nakho encwadini yakhe ethi "Iminyaka eyi-12 eyiNceku."
Okuhlangenwe nakho komculo we-jazz we-jazz esikhaleni esiseduze njengaleso sikhashana sithintekile futhi sabantu. UMarjorie ukhanyisa amakhandlela ambalwa ekhishini. I-vase yezimbali ezintsha zifakwe esitokisini esenziwe ngezipompo zepulasitiki ezizogcwalisa nge-apple ijusi kulabo abavakashile. Ukusebenza kuqala noMarjorie ku-piyano, egqoke izingubo ezimhlophe ezibomvu. (Awunayo umculo weshidi.) Izithombe, amakhadi, kanye nezithombe zephephandaba zithinteka ezindongeni. Abaculi baqala ukujoyina uMarjorie futhi ekugcineni uhamba upiyano lapho indodana yakhe, uRudel Drears, ithatha. UCedric Chakroun, udlala u- Nature Boy Eddn Ahbez emgodini. Owesifazane kulabo abalaleli ukhuluma ngokuthula ngomngani wakhe, "Ungamzwa u-hurtin 'avela lapha, akunjalo?" Umngane uhlaziya isandla sakhe ngokuqinisekisayo. Amapulangwe anezinkukhu ezimbili ezinkukhu, ezikhuniwe. Umnyango wendandatho ne-Kiochi, ehlezi "ngemuva", ucindezela i-buzzer. I-Percussionist Al Drears ihamba futhi emva kwesikhathi igubula endaweni. Emgodini, umama osemncane uhlabelela umculo, ezama ukuxazulula ingane yakhe enenyanga engu-3 ubudala. Ikhonsathi iphumula ukuphuma futhi uCedric uyajoyina emgodini ukuze adlale ngokushelela i- Twinkle Twinkle Little Star .
Lezi amakhonsathi azigcini nje kuphela ukulondoloza ifa le-jazz eHarlem, bayifaka ngokuphila okusha kwababukeli bangaleso sikhathi. Njengoba kunikezwe umongo wesikhala esithi "I-Nickel ye-Triple", impela imyuziyamu ephilayo yomlando we-Harlem Renaissance.
"Abantu bavame ukungibuza ukuthi yini engimangalisa kakhulu ngalezi konsathi futhi ngihlale ngitshela ukuthi yizethameli zami," kusho uMarjorie. "Abantu abavela esakhiweni abafiki, kodwa abantu abavela kulo lonke idolobha nasemhlabeni wonke benza. Imvula noma iqhwa, angikaze nginabantu abangaphansi kuka-30 lapha." Ngempela, izincwadi zokuqondisa ezokuvakasha eNew York ezibhalwa ngesiNtaliyane, isiFulentshi nesiJalimane cishe ziqukethe uhlu lwe-jazz salon jazz. AbaseYurophu abaningi bayazi ngeNdlunkulu yakhe kanye noMorris-Jumel kuneNew Yorkers.
NgeSonto elithile, iqembu lamaNtaliyane eliseneminyaka engama-20 liye lafika ekhishini. Indoda evela e-Uzbekistan iyathokoza ngokujabula ukuzwa umculo ayewufunde ngasese e-USSR. (Uzwile mayelana nombukiso we-jazz ngenkathi elinde emgqeni wamathikithi eMetropolitan Opera. Wabuza ukuthi angase azwe i-jazz enhle eNew York futhi watshelwa ukuthi indawo engcono kakhulu yayiphakamiso eMarjorie.
Kodwa ngo-Marjorie, lokhu kusekhona ngendodana yakhe. Kubuye kube yindodana yesibili elahlekile ngoJanuwari 2006. "Ngami, ngokuthula, lokhu kukhuluma ngoPhillip noMichael."
