2024 Free Jazz Album on Vinyl LP!
"A legend in free music" - Gilles Peterson, BBC Music
In 1975, the New York City alto saxophonist Alan Braufman released his debut album Valley of Search on the India Navigation label. Braufman went on to record and tour with everyone from Carla Bley to The Psychedelic Furs, and didn't release another album under his name until 2020's The Fire Still Burns, which received rave reviews from The WIRE, Downbeat, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, and NPR.
2024's Infinite Love Infinite Tears is a surprisingly catchy program of free jazz, richly detailed and forthright, embodying a range of emotions and circumstances that convey individuality, collectivity and hope. There is much history and love in this band, and in Alan Braufman's art overall. Fifty-odd years after debuting on record, his sound-world is as vital and inviting as ever.
Infinite Love Infinite Tears is at once more exploratory and more immediately accessible than its predecessors. Braufman's approach to composition reflects his long-developing aesthetic balancing the melodic with the vanguard, but it underscores his predilections with the strength of this band in bringing them to fruition bountifully.
