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.First official release for this excellent-quality recording of the Kind of Blue-era Davis Quintet, with Wynton Kelly on piano added to Coltrane, Chambers and Cobb.
The received view is that the two principals had already gone their separate stylistic ways: Davis ever more minimal, Coltrane all "sheets of sound". But it's the ice-and-fire contrast that creates such high drama. Both men play superbly, and Coltrane's solo on "So What" anticipates everything that followed. Amazing.
