Alan Braufman announces archival live album from 1975

January 19, 2022

Alan Braufman has announced “Live in New York City, February 8, 1975.” The triple LP, double CD, and digital album will be released on April 8, 2022. This recently unearthed recording captures 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, or a gatefold double CD set. Newly mastered with new liner notes by the host Susan Mannheimer.
