Your support helps us to tell the story
My recent work focusing on Latino voters in Arizona has shown me how crucial independent journalism is in giving voice to underrepresented communities.
Your support is what allows us to tell these stories, bringing attention to the issues that are often overlooked. Without your contributions, these voices might not be heard.
Every dollar you give helps us continue to shine a light on these critical issues in the run up to the election and beyond

An interesting, thoughtful and very charming album of piano/drum duets by a couple of Brit-jazzers who fall short of household-name status.
What's not to be charmed by? Part of the charm lies in the selection of tunes, which ranges from Gillian Welch ("Dear Someone") and the titular Don McLean to jazz standards ("Embraceable You"), but also in the unusualness of the piano/drum voicing, which is not nearly as dry as you might fear. But that's empathetic musicianship for you. Hooray.
Pick of the album: 'Mood Indigo': an exercise in Duking it
