After decades outside the spotlight, Braufman returned with a new wave of acclaim, releasing two highly regarded albums in 2020 and 2024 that reestablished him as both an essential elder and a vital contemporary presence—long described as “a legend in free music” (Gilles Peterson \/ BBC).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded in a single day in the fall of 2025, Anthem for Peace is a fully new studio album that captures Braufman in the present tense. Leading a quartet with vibraphonist Patricia Brennan, bassist Luke Stewart, and drummer Chad Taylor, he delivers concise, hook-forward compositions that move fluidly between spiritual anthems, buoyant post-bop, and hypnotic, eastern-influenced themes. Brennan’s vibraphone—shimmering acoustically and occasionally treated electronically—adds depth and color, while Stewart and Taylor form a deeply locked, responsive rhythm section. The result is music that is “playful and light, yet texturally dense” (NPR): optimistic, focused, and driven by a clear sense of forward motion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003estreet date 5\/15\/2026\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secretly Canadian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45003198988488,"sku":"650384039310","price":33.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/1337\/2616\/files\/82_566b449a-5e82-46b9-b90e-61ac0235d753.png?v=1773085121","url":"https:\/\/1234gorecords.shop\/en-ca\/products\/650384039310","provider":"1-2-3-4 Go!
