Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Though Bruce Weber's pics for the sleeve look like they belong in a catalogue of hairdressing products, and one could get depressed about the relentlessly retro repertoire, it can't be denied that Krall – the biggest name in jazz right now – is a class act. The arrangements by the legendary Brazilian Claus Ogerman drift along in a sensuous haze, with Krall's voice recorded so close to the microphone that you can feel her tonsils trembling. Even the careworn title track sounds good, but it always does, doesn't it? For kitsch bossa nova stylings with a modicum of adventure, try Lisa Ekdahl. You can hear this at the hairdressers.
