Reflections On a Rainy Day\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlto saxophonist and flutist Alan Braufman first emerged as a singular voice in New York’s 1970s loft-jazz scene with his 1975 debut Valley of Search, a record that would later be recognized as a landmark of spiritual and free jazz. After decades outside the spotlight, Braufman returned with a new wave of acclaim, releasing two highly regarded albums in 2020 and 2024 that reestablished him as both an essential elder and a vital contemporary presence—long described as “a legend in free music” (Gilles Peterson \/ BBC).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded in a single day in the fall of 2025, Anthem for Peace is a fully new studio album that captures Braufman in the present tense. Leading a quartet with vibraphonist Patricia Brennan, bassist Luke Stewart, and drummer Chad Taylor, he delivers concise, hook-forward compositions that move fluidly between spiritual anthems, buoyant post-bop, and hypnotic, eastern-influenced themes. Brennan’s vibraphone—shimmering acoustically and occasionally treated electronically—adds depth and color, while Stewart and Taylor form a deeply locked, responsive rhythm section. The result is music that is “playful and light, yet texturally dense” (NPR): optimistic, focused, and driven by a clear sense of forward motion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Valley Of Search","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46648000872604,"sku":"VOS13CD","price":14.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/9_c75e9380-d684-47df-b7f1-6f7eff855d22.webp?v=1775669889","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/alan-braufman-anthem-of-peace-cd","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
