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 unusual combination of instruments – sax, piano and vibes/marimba – for this excellent new Brit-jazz trio creates a warm and attractive impression straight away, with the rhythmic attack of vibist Jim Hart and pianist Gwilym Simcock vanishing any danger of bland chamber jazz.
Tenor saxophonist Stan Sulzmann – whose seniority appears to make him the group's guiding force – sounds superbly soulful on his own "Chu Chu", a spring-heeled, New York-style groove so good you want to repeat it indefinitely. When Sulzmann plays soprano (and flute on one track), it's less compulsive, but the trio is the thing.
Pick of the Album: 'Chu Chu': Like Joe Henderson playing over Steve Reich
