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.Two albums from the early 1960s pitching the most hellaciously swinging big band of the 20th century in with pop's first Apollo, the first session arranged and conducted by Neal Hefti, the second by Quincy Jones.
What's not to like? Well, you might claim that neither institution was in the first bloom of youth, and that neither session contains the subtlety and lightness which characterised the best of the Nelson Riddle stuff. But hell's bells, they swing like the clappers.
