Alabaster DePlume - Live at Le Guess Who? 2022

Alabaster DePlume gave a special performance on the opening night of Le Guess Who?'s 15th Anniversary Edition, joined on stage by a.o. Jeff Parker (Tortoise) on guitar and Asher Gamedze on drums. Revisit the performance with our concert film, featuring ‘What’s Missing’, ‘Visit Croatia’, ‘Mrs Calamari’ and Soccer96’s ‘Buy It’.

"Music has a transformative power and DePlume explores that path tenderly. Known for assembling a cast of different musicians wherever he plays, here DePlume had a sweet band accompanying him, including special guest Jeff Parker on guitar and Ruth Goller on bass. Having listened to GOLD countless times, it was a moment of joy to translate that experience to a live setting. DePlume and his band explored the area between spiritual jazz, folk and poetry, filling our hearts with hope and joy" - Cast the Dice
