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 are any number of English bands with a heavy post-modern spin whose albums you'd never willingly listen to twice.

Clarinet specialist Shabaka Hutchings has shown himself to be a gifted, thoughtful player through his work with the Jazz Warriors and others, but despite an intriguing use of space, this trio with bassist Neil Charles and drummer Tom Skinner never quite settles, its attempts at dub reggae, Kraftwerk ("Showroom Dummies") and free jazz failing to convince.
