{"product_id":"alan-braufman-anthem-of-peace","title":"Alan Braufman - Anthem of Peace","description":"\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":"CD","offer_id":57071429288280,"sku":"TKM-34594","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP","offer_id":57071429321048,"sku":"TKM-34595","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4266\/0184\/files\/b42adee0ffc0ff4c72dfa275b40f146e.png?v=1775665726","url":"https:\/\/truckmusic.store\/products\/alan-braufman-anthem-of-peace","provider":"Truck","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
