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.

This should be big news: hip experimentalists Nostalgia 77 are joined by the royal couple of UK free jazz to play a listener-friendly, retro-ish mixture of bop, blues and folk-tinged songs.

As Julie was once Julie Driscoll – the grittier, jazzier Dusty Springfield who sang "This Wheel's on Fire" with Brian Auger and the Trinity – and she hasn't sung, nor pianist Keith played, tunes like this for 40 years, the rarity value is huge. And she sounds absolutely great.

Pick of the album: 'Lapis Blue': Julie's beautiful boppish ballad
