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.Given his legendary allegiance to acoustic piano, it's astonishing to hear these 1986 home recordings of Keith Jarrett overdubbing himself on drums, electric bass, percussion, recorder, voice, piano and, mostly, electric guitar. Across two CDs, they resemble Jerry Garcia on one of the Grateful Dead's more reflective days, with individual tracks offering other echoes – there's a lyrical, African soukous flavour to his guitar on "V", for instance, while the jazzy tone and elegant phrasing of "I" recalls John McLaughlin's early Extrapolation work. It gets a bit noodly-doodly at times, but with some stand-out moments, notably the lovely, meditative grace of the bass and guitar alliance in "XII" which supports Jarrett's sleevenote query, "How could I have left it in a drawer all these years?"
