ロンドン・ジャズ・シーンの異才、サキソフォン奏者、スポークンワード、リーディングAlabaster DePlumeの新作アルバム。素晴らしいリリースの続く「International Anthem」のニューリリース。ストックしています。

「Gold」同様にSons Of KemetやOwiny Sigoma Bandにも合流するロンドンのジャズシーンのTom Skinny(dr.)、Tom Herbert(ba.)、Ninja Tuneからもリリースしたインド系のタブラ/ドラマーSarathy Korwar、Salty Road Dogsで活動を共にしているMomoko Gillたち、はじめ多くのミュージシャン達も参加。もともとパンク好きで、スポークワード、詩人でもあるAlabaster DePlume、UKジャズの先鋭、ポリリズムやアフリカ、民族音楽からインスパイアされた変則的な時間進行、スピリチュアルなアンサンブル、充実のサウンドに磨きがかかってます。これも文句なしに推薦。 (サイトウ)

In order to record the compositions in his critically-acclaimed 2022 release GOLD, Alabaster DePlume instilled a culture of creativity by leading his ensembles in spontaneous composition and development. To allow them to be present, he kept the musicians constantly creating across several weeks of sessions at London creative hub Total Refreshment Centre. This process resulted in an abundance of material, much more than he could fit onto the initial double LP.

After spending most of 2022 touring in support of GOLD, Alabaster spent much of early 2023 revisiting the additional material from those Total Refreshment Centre sessions – adding, subtracting, producing and arranging – resulting in an entirely new album, Come With Fierce Grace.

Come With Fierce Grace is an album made of authentic and unstipulated – yet welcomed – human interaction. It is for the most part an album of instrumentals, with exception of a few vocal features by Momoko Gill (aka MettaShiba), Falle Nioke, and Donna Thompson. However the instrumentals on this album are much more embryonic and unfiltered than the lush orchestrations heard on Alabaster’s breakout 2020 album To Cy & Lee: Instrumentals Vol. 1. Come With Fierce Grace is perhaps the most raw and candid portrait of Alabaster’s creative compositional process we’ve yet to hear, as he’s captured vividly in the room with his collaborators – stretching, exploring, working to deepen and expand the emotions underlying his melodic and poetic frameworks.
