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.

The third album by the three young Polish unpronounceables who used to back trumpeter Tomasz Stanko is close to a total triumph.

An imaginative repertoire mixes originals with tunes by Ornette, Paul Bley, Hermeto Pascoal and Hans Eisler, plus "Ballad of the Sad Young Men". Overall, they play with equal force and feeling, swinging as hard as a Miles Davis Quintet from the 1960s, or getting lyrical like Jarrett where necessary. The leader's "Night Train to You" is a stand-out.
