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.Afro-Cuban pianist Fonseca is one of the biggest new stars in jazz, and this live CD & DVD combo shows why.
There are great tunes drawn from his two studio albums, and it doesn't hurt that he looks cool, or that his well-established band proves such an effective foil. But the real interest lies in the dialogue between Fonseca's already heavily percussive piano style and the drummer Ramses Rodriguez. One still hopes that after this excellent summary of its talents, Fonseca now breaks up the band and does something new.
