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.

Django Reinhardt meets Hank B Marvin in guitarist Taylor's beautifully detailed, high-gloss contemporary version of gypsy jazz.

Reconvening his successful 1990s band (of Renault's "Papa et Nicole" ads fame) in celebration of Reinhardt's centenary year, Taylor touches on smooth jazz, retro-lounge, instrumental pop and nostalgic vocals but such is the sureness of his touch, the skills of the band (including Alan Barnes on reeds and Jack Emblow on accordion) and the catchiness of the tunes that you can't help but submit.
