Performer Notes
  • Personnel: Leroy Jenkins (violin, flute, kalimba, voice); Sirone (bass, flute); Jerome Cooper (drums, flute, piano, balaphone, chiramiya)
  • Recorded in 1977.
  • Revolutionary Ensemble: Leroy Jenkins (vocals, violin, flute, kalimba); Jerome Cooper (flute, piano, balafon, drums, percussion); Sirone (flute, bass instrument, bass guitar).
  • Recording information: Moosham Castle, Austria (08/18/1977).
  • In retrospect, violinist Leroy Jenkins, bassist Sirone, and drummer Jerome Cooper's free-jazz trio, the Revolutionary Ensemble, stands as a gentler cousin to those original free-jazz collectives, Art Ensemble of Chicago and AACM, the latter of which introduced Jenkins's string playing to the scene. On this live 1977 date, each of the members doubles or triples up on other instruments so there is a variety of textures and timbres to be heard here, including kalimba, flute, and piano. Mostly it's Jenkin's fluent, fugal violin improvisations that predominate, however. At their most successful, these jams sound like a loosely strung Bach "Chaconne" accompanied by bass and drums. Originally an Inner City LP with limited distribution, Enja has reissued REVOLUTIONARY ENSEMBLE in 2008 with 24-bit remastered sound.
