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).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlan Braufman - alto saxophone, flute\u003cbr\u003ePatricia Brennan - vibraphone\u003cbr\u003eChad Taylor - drums, percussion\u003cbr\u003eLuke Stewart - bass\u003cbr\u003e“Snow in Central Park”: Ken Filiano - bass, Michael Wimberly - percussion\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll songs written by Alan Braufman\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThank you for looking at our listing, below are a few points to consider before making a purchase:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- All records we sell are Brand New - pre-orders will normally come sealed but if you are purchasing in stock items, please note the copy may have been unsealed for display in the shop.
