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.What has the Viennese school ever done for jazz? Well, quite a lot really, from Cecil Taylor's knuckle-edged atonality to cool school serialism.
This third album by the dangerously young German trio of pianist Michael Wollny, bassist Eva Kruse and drummer Eric Schaeffer references Webern, Schoenberg and faint, crepuscular echoes of techno to create intensely involving soundscapes that shimmer darkly. Over 13 original compositions, they shift from harsh, percussive free jazz to gently swinging lyricism, eventually rewarding the listener with the semblance of a proper tune.
