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.

Three of the most impressive artists of 2007 combine in a trio that avoids all the usual associations of superstar bands in favour of an entirely unforced and genuine collaboration. Over 15 tracks, including Jobim, Charles Trenet and a Galliano arrangement of Ravel as well as originals, Fresu's pure-voiced trumpet and flugel, the marvellously reedy sonorities of Galliano's accordion and Lundgren's impeccably restrained piano (a Fazioli) combine to produce transcendently beautiful, light and airy music. By the end, you're beginning to miss bass and drums, but it's taken an hour to get there.
