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.On his 11th Blue Note album, saxophonist Osby still communicates something new, a task that defeated most of his US contemporaries after 2 or 3 outings. The mostly original compositions edge closer than most Americans dare towards European-style experiment, although the band swings so fiercely that pseudo-classical worthiness hardly gets a look in. It's still possible to ask where Osby is going, however, and this album could stand as a testament to the crisis in African-American jazz were it not for the invention of the writing and the soulfulness of Osby'ssolos.
