Alan Braufman’s nephew and VOS label founder Nabil Ayers wrote an account of his childhood at 501 Canal Street, the New York City apartment building where Alan created Valley of Search in the early 1970s. Read at The New York Times.
Valley of Search began as a vehicle to reissue jazz saxophonist Alan Braufman's 1975 album of the same name. Now, with multi-instrumentalist Masma Dream World, vibraphonist Patricia Brennan & electronic composer, Tomas Nordmark, VoS exists as a home for adventurous music, unbound by genre or decade.
