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 remastered box-set of the Keith Jarrett Trio's 'Standards' volumes 1 and 2 and 'Changes' – all recorded and mixed in two and a half days in New York in 1983 – is so good you have to listen extra carefully in case some new, as yet unappreciated shard of brilliance passes you by. Take the incredible gospel version of "God Bless the Child", with DeJohnette's thwacking snare and Peacock's snakey double bass sounding sharper than ever before, grounding Jarrett's piano vamps with heavy gravity. Jarrett's vocal wailing will still irritate some listeners, but here it seems indivisible from his genius.
