{"product_id":"alan-braufman-anthem-for-peace-1","title":"Alan Braufman- Anthem For 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).Recorded 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 gospel-tinged 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 \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAngels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Journey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnthem for Peace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSnow in Central Park\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eUPC \u0026gt; 650384039310\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFormat \u0026gt; New Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLabel \u0026gt; Valley Of Search\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShop online at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47625433612509,"sku":"650384039310","price":173.0,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4501327-3551786.jpg?v=1773851257","url":"https:\/\/darksiderecords.myshopify.com\/products\/alan-braufman-anthem-for-peace-1","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
