Alan Braufman - The Fire Still Burns LP
45 years after his debut album Valley of Search (1975/India Navigation), jazz saxophonist Alan Braufman returns. The Fire Still Burns has that gritty, forthright sensibility we hope to hear in sonic collaborations borne out of beauty and struggle, but there’s a populist ease that comes with age and reflection. Put simply it’s natural music – complementary, individual, and full of the sweet, hot taste of celebration. Wide coverage in The WIRE, Pitchfork, NPR, NY Times, Rolling Stone, DownBeat and more.
