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.

Trumpeter Mark Charig, who plays cornet and tenor horn here, was a member of Keith Tippett's early bands, and it's Tippett on pipe organ, zither, piano, voice and bell, together with the extraordinary voice-as-instrument singer Ann Winter who completes the trio. It's very much of its time, freely improvised, but light and playful, and alert to sonic possibility. The listener may have to be as indulgent as the musicians to really make it work.
