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.American jazz pianist Hank Jones died on Sunday in a New York hospital following a short illness, his agent Jean-Pierre Leduc who lives in Montreal told AFP. Jones was 91.
Jones, who was born into a musical family, was the older brother of Elvin Jones, the legendary drummer for John Coltrane, and of trumpeter Thad Jones - both deceased.
Jones had remained very active in his last years, despite his age, touring Europe in 2009, with shows in Vienna, Paris, Geneva, the Czech Republic and Istanbul.
Leduc said he saw him "serene and smiling" at the hospital on Saturday. He fell sick in March.
