Debut recording by one of the classic avant-garde groups: the
Revolutionary Ensemble. Featuring violinist Leroy Jenkins
(formerly a member of the AACM), bassist Sirone and
percussionist Jerome Cooper, the group was an early example of
chamber music within the avant-garde format, one that
emphasized subtlety within its instrumentation (string
instruments instead of saxophones) and compositions. The band
existed primarily from 1971-1977, building a worldwide
reputation as one of the premier avant-garde groups.
"Vietnam" was the group's first recording.
Personnel
Leroy Jenkins: violin, viola
Sirone: bass, cello
