Revolutionary Ensemble (album)

Revolutionary Ensemble is the self-titled debut album by the American free jazz group Revolutionary Ensemble. Released in 1973 on the ESP-Disk label, it showcases the band's distinctive blend of free improvisation, hard bop influences, and African rhythms. The album features a powerful and energetic sound, characterized by extended improvisations and a strong rhythmic drive.

The lineup on this recording includes:

• Henry Grimes – double bass
• Clifford Thornton – tenor saxophone, alto saxophone
• Jerome Cooper – percussion

While the album is considered a key work in the free jazz canon, detailed information regarding specific track listings, recording dates, and critical reception at the time of its release is limited in readily available sources. Further research is needed to expand this entry with more precise information on individual tracks, production details, and its historical context within the broader jazz scene of the early 1970s. The album's influence on subsequent free jazz musicians and its lasting impact on the genre also warrants further investigation.
