Contact Wave: Alabaster dePlume
03.20.22
Co-hosted by Chris Kissel and Chuck Soo-Hoo, the twice-monthly dublab program Contact Wave enthusiastically celebrates the best experimental, avant-garde, psychedelic, and off-the-grid music crafted in L.A. and beyond.
This week’s guest is Alabaster dePlume, also known as musician-poet Gus Fairbairn, a Manchester-born, London-based bandleader, composer, saxophonist, activist and orator.
His new album, GOLD, is a warm, genre-agnostic work of joy and community, the follow-up to his celebrated album of global jazz-influenced instrumentals, To Cy and Lee.
