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.There's considerable fogey-appeal to audiophile label Chesky's single-mic, tube-driven, real location methodology although it sometimes appears that more attention is paid to the valves than the tunes or the people who play them. 'Cobb's Corner' is a case in point, pairing the rather polite rhythm section of ex-Miles Davis and Cannonball Adderley drummer Jimmy Cobb, bassist Peter Washington and pianist Ronnie Mathews with hot-shot trumpeter Roy Hargrove, who plays with R&B star D'Angelo. The results, while mixed, really do grow on you, with the unusually heated "Book's Bossa" a particular treat.
