Review: Alabaster De Plume reached a wider appreciation with his 2022 album Gold, marking the British jazz maverick out as one of the brightest talents of his generation. Emerging from the vital energy surrounding Total Refreshment Centre, he's plotted his own course which has brought in an expansive ensemble of players bursting with talent. From the reams of material recorded in the creation of Gold he's now created this patchwork follow-up, which stands proud as a brilliant album in its own right. Deeply rooted and yet freewheeling in its own understated way, Come With Fierce Grace once again demonstrates De Plume's immeasurable talent and instinct for making wild ideas incredibly palatable.
