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.

Stop all the clocks: this is a classical/jazz crossover that actually works!

For at least part of its modest 40minute span violinist Manchon's quirky string quartet plus various guests on horns and harmonica, delivers spellbinding mood-music that conforms exactly to that mix of the strange and the beautiful that avant-garde fans dream about. Over soulful string-patterns, a cool-sounding sax or nerdy harmonica takes a line for a walk, sometimes suggesting tango, sometimes John Lurie's score for Stranger Than Paradise.
