The Revolutionary Ensemble

Chicago, Illinois

The Ensemble formed in the early 70s with Leroy Jenkins, the first to apply the dulcet tones of violin to a more experimental setting (at least in jazz). Jenkins hooked up with bassist Sirone and drummer Jerome Cooper.They formed the Revolutionary Ensemble and began working on “chamber jazz.” The Ensemble was first recorded in 1972. And Now… (Pi13) is the ensembles first recording since the 1970s.
