Archival Live Recording from 1975 on 3LP!
This recently unearthed recording captures saxophonist Alan Braufman with his five-piece band in an early 1975 live radio session soon after recording his debut album Valley of Search for the India Navigation label. This was the first meeting for William Parker and Cooper-Moore, whose musical partnership has flourished ever since. The 94-minute performance is spread over 5 album sides on 3 LPs.
Newly mastered with new liner notes by the 1975 event host Susan Mannheimer.
Braufman has earned worldwide acclaim from Pitchfork, NPR, The New York Times, The WIRE, Rolling Stone, and more after the 2018 reissue of Valley of Search, and 2020's album The Fire Still Burns.
