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.This second double-CD collection of Cage's saxophone works focuses on the Cagean principle of indeterminacy, applied to Tools on the first disc, and Just Structures on the second.
This stretches the repertoire to include pieces not specifically written for the instrument, such as the tape collage "Fontana Mix", which here remixes parts of other tracks to Zappa-esque results, notably the "Sextet for Low Woodwinds" and the half-hour pieces "Four6" and "One7", which offer the most aurally satisfying realisations here. Included are two versions of the silent piece "4' 33", one performed with the windows shut, the other with the windows open: not taking the mickey, just taking the air. Literally.
