Alto saxophonist Plume has built himself a solid reputation as an improviser, composer and bandleader in the greater jazz community. His lyrical sound, highly expressive and organic improvisations contribute to his unique and remarkable style. His music - drawing upon a diversity of influences - lives in our era while staying deeply rooted in the tradition of Black American Music.
A graduate of Berklee College of Music (2002) and New England Conservatory (2004), Plume began developing his voice at Wally’s Cafe in Boston, alongside inspiring peers such as Darren Barrett, Walter Smith III, Ambrose Akinmusire, Kendrick Scott, Warren Wolf, Jason Palmer, Christian Scott, Petar Slavov, David Bryant, Lawrence Fields…
Between 2007 and 2013 Plume’s style continued to evolve on the New York City jazz scene, performing in local venues as well as other East Coast cities such as Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington DC. During these years he had the opportunity to share the bandstand formally or informally with artists such as Mulgrew Miller, Roy Hargrove, Greg Osby, Tim Warfield, Bill Lee, Eric Lewis, Jeremy Pelt, Justin Faulkner, Sean Jones, Justin Brown, just to name a few.
Since 2015 Plume has been based in Paris, where he is active on the local scene in addition to touring with his band. He also performs regularly as a sideman, most recently with Leon Parker, Joe Sanders, George Burton and Sarah McKenzie.
His debut album as a leader “Escaping the Dark Side” (featuring Ambrose Akinmusire on trumpet) was released in April 2019 on the french label “Jazz & People” and was highly acclaimed by the French press and public alike. Plume is currently in the process of preparing his second album.
