Valley of Search - a record label

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.
