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.

Roy Ayers (Ronnie Scott's, Birmingham, 021-454 7070, tomorrow-Sat). Fusion de luxe from the veteran vibraharpist's sextet, which includes in its line-up the highly rated guitarist Zachary Breaux.

Georgie Fame (Ronnie Scott's, W1, 071-439 0747, tomorrow-Sat). Still, 30 years after those Flamingo all-niters, the hippest thing to be heard in Soho.

Mose Allison (Pizza Express, Dean St, W1, 071-437 9595, Wed-Sun 14). And here's where Georgie Fame got it from: the dry-voiced, wry-witted blues singer and pianist from Mississippi.

Randy Weston (Queen Elizabeth Hall, SE1, 071-928 8800, Thurs; St Donat's Arts Centre, Llantwit Major, 0446 794848, Sat). This veteran New York pianist was exploring the African connection long before anyone coined the term 'world music'.

Bill Bruford (Jazz Cafe, NW1, 071-916 6000, Thurs). Once he filled arenas with Yes and King Crimson; now this excellent drummer leads a thoughtful, adventurous quartet.
