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.Your obituary of the fine jazz pianist and composer Michael Garrick (16 November) referred to a record he made while at university with Joe Harriott and Shake Keane entitled Blues for the Lonely.
That EP was in fact a poetry and jazz record made with the poet Jeremy Robson: that title was actually the title of one of his poems on the record. It was made several years after Garrick left London University and the two of them had performed together, with other poets like Ted Hughes, Dannie Abse, Adrian Mitchell Laurie Leeand Alan Brownjohn, in a number of live events known as "Poetry and Jazz in Concert".
The 50th anniversary was marked by a concert in London last week. Garrick was to have directed the music but was rushed into hospital on the eve of the performance and couldn't take part.
