Internationally acclaimed saxophonist, poet, and songwriter Alabaster DePlume announces *Prologue To A Blade*—a series of creative statements setting the stage for a larger project arriving next year via International Anthem. The new EP features two tracks recorded in Palestine with local musicians, pianist Sami El Enani and Qanoun player Laith Albandak, and a third track inspired by the experience of living in solidarity with the people of Palestine. The EP is accompanied by news of DePlume’s debut poetry book and a tour of the US and Europe. This body of work lays the foundation for his evolving artistic journey, exploring the role of dignity in healing and its impact on community, society, and humanity.
