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.Arnie Somogyi is a bassist and Ambulance is his quintet of young Brit jazzers augmented by the soigné American trumpeter Eddie Henderson. They play jazz of programmatic bent, in this case arising from time spent on the Suffolk coast in the company of "Mick the Fish", "Lobster Pot 999" and Maggie Hambling's controversial shell sculpture at Aldeburgh. You will not hear the voices of townsfolk raised in choral abuse. What you will hear is elaborate, faintly Wayne Shorter-ish ensemble music, moistened by laptop drizzle. No single voice stands out but the collective effect is sometimes marvellous.
