Not My Ask remix by Dorovio Bold

The Real Business remix by Skipperbeat

Whilst recording 'The Jester', the ensemble were unwittingly recorded jamming toward the end of the session. The recording went straight to a 2 track tape machine and was mixed live.

Since this jam was completely improvised it has no composers, so we have decided to make it available for free download as an open source remix piece. Please download, spread the word and remix.

Musicians:

Alabaster DePlume - tenor saxophone
Daniel Inzani - upright piano
Jessica MacDonald - cello
Hannah Miller - cello
Leon Boydon - acoustic bass
Dan Truen - drums
Lorenzo Prati - tenor saxophone

The Jester

Audio master and trombonist with Louis Barabbas and the Bedlam 6, Liz Green and others, Biff Roxby has given our ponce, Alabaster Deplume an almost streetwise backbeat in response to his sardonic, removed and undirected complaint.

I Don't Want A World Today – Roxby's Wonky Remix

'The Jester',  a record by Alabaster DePlume and Daniel Inzani.

“Truth is often the jester”

Ten join pianist Daniel Inzani (The Mandibles, Count Bobo and the Bullion) and poet/singer/saxophonist Alabaster dePlume (Honeyfeet, Liz Green) in creating a wash of fugues, invocations and tunes. 

Employing unusual and cut-throat practices, analogue equipment was used to capture the creative expressions and communications of the 12-piece ensemble, live. Spontaneity, sincerity, and humour taking stubborn precedence, the characters of all involved have formed this delightful, unique and deeply moving piece of work. 

Theatrical spoken-word and song joining chorus, horns, strings, piano and percussion, this release is a rich and frighteningly varied gem for Debt Records of Manchester (Bridie Jackson and the Arbour, Walk, Louis Barabbas and the Bedlam 6, Honeyfeet)

The ensemble is comprised Dartington graduates and legends of the local scene, members of Count Bobo and the Bullion, the Mandibles (“evocative, idiosyncratic and even slightly absurd – Venue Magazine”) and Bert Miller and the Animal Folk. It features Sheelanagig’s Aaron Catlow, alongside the cellos of Beth Horton, Pepino’s Jessica Macdonald, Moulettes’ Hannah Miller, and a feast of creative performers from far and wide. 

As part of the project, a large collection of artists are producing images in response to the material, that will be presented online, and physically at the launch in Bristol. A crowd-funding campaign is being set up, to make the bold and uncommon move of paying the artists. 
Support the campaign here: www.pledgemusic.com/projects/thejesterproject

The record will be available on CD, Vinyl and download, on the 8th July, and will be accompanied by the following concerts, in celebration:

12th July 3MT Manchester
13th July 3MT Manchester
14th July Kazimir Liverpool
20th July Folk House Bristol
