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.

This is Arguelles's 'Auf Wiedersehen Pet' album, multi-tracked in a Hamburg studio in the lonely late-night downtime from his NDR Big Band contract.

He's been England's most complete saxophonist for years and his mastery and intelligence are evident throughout, even on experimental pieces using keys as percussion or playing the unfamiliar (to him) bass sax or piccolo. More than half of the 14 racks are astonishingly good, insistent motifs and grooves buoyed up amid an ocean of breath.

Pick of the album: 'Ghana': joyful sounds from the sax chorus
