'In the 1970s, saxophonist
Alan Braufman was part of a collective of musicians who transformed a vacant building in Lower Manhattan into a hub for New York City's free jazz scene. They lived in the building at 501 Canal Street, performed in the building, and recorded in the building. One of those performances, a free-jazz record titled
Valley of Search fell out of print after its release in 1975, but over the years it developed a cult following. Now,
after nearly 50 years, the record is being reissued by his nephew,
Nabil Ayers.' --
