Saxophonist, flutist and all-around New York jazz legend Alan Braufman has announced a new album, Infinite Love Infinite Tears, that will be out May 17 via Valley of Search. The album was produced by his nephew, Nabil Ayers (who is Roy Ayers son and is president of the Beggars Group which contains 4AD, Matador, more) and features Patricia Brennan (vibraphone), Ken Filiano (bass), Chad Taylor (drums), James Brandon Lewis (saxophone), and Michael Wimberly (percussion).
“I never have a nonmusical idea where I try to write the music to match,” Alan says of his process. “I write a song and ask myself what the song feels like.” The first single from the album is “Edge of Time” and he says the melody popped into his head a few years ago, “just part of the musical hum going on in my head pretty much in my head 24/7. It was quite fun turning this 9-bar melody into a coherent piece of music.”
