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.The collision (oh, all right, "fusion") of Brazilian bossa and modern jazz defined the 1960s as succinctly as did Bob Dylan, which perhaps explains why that decade is so often sold short by history.
This two-CD set continues Soul Jazz's admirable determination to explain things. We get 30 tracks, ranging in atmosphere from the languorous to the excitable, by such institutions as Airto Moreira, Sergio Mendes and Jobim, as well as a lot of Brazilians you've never heard of. Busy music.
