Alabaster DePlume
«Fearlessly absurd and with genuine, openly expressed emotions.»
- Line-Up
- Agnus Fairbairn Saxophon
Musician and spoken word poet Alabaster DePlume knows how to use words as skillfully as the dreamy melodies of his saxophone.
On his latest album, “A Blade Because A Blade Is Whole” (2025), the Mancunian reflects on healing, dignity, and struggle. He remains true to his unmistakable sound of Ethio-jazz and ghostly melodies, with his vibrato-laced saxophone winding its way around his philosophical lyrics. Fearlessly absurd and with genuine, openly expressed emotions.
That's how the music sounds on his album, but what you hear live is something you only find out on the evening itself: anyone who has already experienced Alabaster DePlume at Moods in 2022 knows about his particularly spontaneous live shows and how the concert hall fills with humanity, sensitivity, and love in an instant.
