Described by NPR as an artist whose “greatest value is openness,” Alabaster dePlume, born Gus Fairbairn, is a British musician who fuses jazz, spoken word, and performance poetry into a distinctive and socially conscious form. Hailing from Manchester and now based in London, dePlume creates music that defies easy categorization, blending serene melodies with politically charged anthems that challenge societal complacency and advocate for human connection. His art is marked by its warmth, transparency, and a people-first approach that values collaboration and spontaneity over perfection. DePlume’s unconventional journey into music began in late-night jam sessions, where he developed his unique saxophone style, playing by ear and emotion rather than traditional training. This raw, intuitive approach extends to his live performances, where he seamlessly combines music with spoken word, creating an immersive experience that invites audiences into a space of communal reflection and emotional depth. His albums, released by the acclaimed Chicago jazz label International Anthem, further solidify his place as a leading figure in the contemporary British jazz renaissance. Alabaster dePlume continues to push boundaries, using his art as a vehicle for social commentary and personal expression. His music, infused with both serenity and urgency, serves as a reminder of the power of vulnerability and the importance of collective creativity in addressing the challenges of our time.
