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.

What makes Triptych work well is the interplay of Fairhurst's rhythmically complex but airy-sounding piano playing with the unusually musical drumming of American-in-London Chris Vatalaro and the solid, grounding role of Danish bassist Jasper Hoiby.
All the tunes are Fairhurst originals, and while they betray a heavy jazz debt (to Monk on the title track), and his own solo style favours the right hand rather than the left, Amusia fairly fizzes with ideas.
