(Out of Your Head) The cellist reunites with guitarist Mary Halvorson, bassist Jason Roebke and drummer Tomas Fujiwara for five stunning tracks that are boundary-pushing yet populist US cellist and composer Tomeka Reid and her frequent guitar soulmate Mary Halvorson have collected so many compliments for their jazzily genre-loose innovations over the past decade and a half, that they don’t need to waste a moment proving anything to anybody. These two fearless musicians have played alongside the tough, cerebral Anthony Braxton, and Reid has been part of that great Chicago avant-jazz institution, the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM). But if they ever considered extending a conciliatory hand to the jazz-averse, it might sound like this entrancing and aptly named set. This is the fourth release by Reid’s quartet featuring Halvorson, bassist Jason Roebke and drummer Tomas Fujiwara. Over five tracks and almost 50 minutes, they race and cruise through jiving swingers, fast brush-shuffles, Latin-jazzy harmonies, hip-hoppish fuzz-guitar burn-ups, and sensuous acoustic-cello reveries.

McDonald's Germany Hides Food Ads During Ramadan Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news, McDonald’s latest marketing stunt in Germany syncs billboards to show empty packaging by day and full meals only after sunset, drawing backlash for prioritizing a minority’s religious observance over the broader customer base. As Ramadan unfolds, McDonald’s Germany has rolled out a campaign that effectively erases tempting food visuals from digital billboards during fasting hours, a move seen by critics as yet another concession to cultural shifts driven by mass immigration. The fast food chain’s digital out-of-home posters display empty fries containers and burger boxes throughout the day, filling them with food images precisely at sunset when Muslims break their fast. 🇩🇪 In Germany, McDonald's has removed food images from its billboards during daylight hours for Ramadan McDonald's Germany launched a new outdoor campaign in which digital billboards sync with the sun, revealing food only after dark throughout the month of Ramadan. pic.twitter.com/iG3lcXdafj — Visegrád 24 (@visegrad24) February 25, 2026 According to Newsweek , the ads carry the message “Happy Ramadan” and use sun-synced data tied to local prayer times to trigger the switch from empty to full. McDonald's Duitsland heeft een gimmick bedacht om moslims te pleasen tijdens de Ramadan. Van zonsopgang tot zonsondergang is er geen eten te zien in de reclames van de vunzige hamburgerboer dat dan weer terugkomt wanneer het iftartijd is geworden. #Ramadan @McDonalds #Ramadan pic.twitter.com/c68aplm5Ev — widtvoet (@widtvoet) February 26, 2026 The post sparked sharp reactions online. One user remarked: “What a great way to ignore the majority of your customers ????” Another called it: “This is a sign that your country has been conquered without a shot fired.” A third questioned: “Great idea if you are in the Middle East. What about the non-Muslims? Or do we not count any more?” This campaign echoes recent events undersco...

Edwin Leong Siu-hung, chairman of Tai Hung Fai Enterprise Group and long dubbed Hong Kong’s “king of shops”, has sold a flat in the ultra-exclusive Mount Nicholson enclave on The Peak, saying weak rental returns did not make it worthwhile to hold the property any longer.

He bought the property in 2016 for about HK$312 million. While the selling price...

Morning, I’m Louise Moon from Bloomberg UK’s breaking news team, bringing you up to speed on today’s top business stories. It’s one political or economic fire after another for Keir Starmer’s government. Consumer confidence dropped for the first time in three months amid rising unemployment (nearly a million young Brits aren’t in work or education) and stretched budgets. GfK’s barometer has erased all gains made since November, as post-budget relief over less aggressive tax hikes than feared gives way to renewed unease - this time over job security and wage growth. Right on cue: Rachel Reeves will deliver her “spring forecast” next week . It’s being pegged as a low-key economic update without the usual array of tax-and-spend policies. The chancellor is trying to end repetitive cycles of speculation that preceded her two budgets, and also deliver on a promise of having just one fiscal event a year. While intended to boost confidence, threats to the Labour party are real - now even more so from the left flank, as underscored by a defeat from the Greens in a crunch special election in Manchester. As our editors write, Starmer’s government is drifting and voters can tell. What’s your take? Ping me on X , LinkedIn or drop me an email at lmoon13@bloomberg.net.
