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, \u003cem\u003eAnthem for Peace\u003c\/em\u003e is a fully new studio album that captures Braufman in the present tense. Leading a quartet with vibraphonist \u003cstrong\u003ePatricia Brennan\u003c\/strong\u003e, bassist \u003cstrong\u003eLuke Stewart\u003c\/strong\u003e, and drummer \u003cstrong\u003eChad Taylor\u003c\/strong\u003e, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Valley Of Search","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":57789295329625,"sku":"SDZ-00750","price":15.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP - Vinyl","offer_id":57789295362393,"sku":"SDZ-00751","price":27.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/ab18f6b044d502c971141ec0e214ade5.jpg?v=1776007843","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/alan-braufman-anthem-of-peace","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
