In Conversation: Alabaster DePlume

If To Cy & Lee: Instrumentals, Vol. 1 from 2020 served as a soothing sonic refuge at precisely the right moment, and 2022's GOLD stood as a powerful declaration that radical empathy can truly transform our world for the better, then Come With Fierce Grace, Alabaster DePlume's (aka Gus Fairbairn) latest album on the Chicago Jazz label International Anthem, emerges as a testament to how this empathy can profoundly shape an artist's journey while also influencing those around them. Grace exhibits a distinct sense of liberation, a slight departure from the more structured vibes of his previous two releases, and while it sometimes explicitly references that previous work, those touchpoints often only serve as a springboard into uncharted and audacious sonic territories.


On this very special episode, we’re sitting down with Gus to talk about his mission to make space for and facilitate joy, the beautiful chaos of his live shows, and much, much more.
