The People’s Republic is an album by the Revolutionary Ensemble, violinist Leroy Jenkins, bassist Sirone and drummer Jerome Cooper, which was recorded in late 1975 and released on the A&M/Horizon label the following year.
According to Sirone, when A&M’s cofounder Herb Alpert played an excerpt from the album (probably “The People’s Republic,” which opens with voices) for musical director Quincy Jones, it elicited a harsh, negative reaction, with Jones claiming that he had “been conned; that it wasn’t jazz or music and blah blah blah.” Sirone recalls that Jones missed the point, which was that “everybody can sing, you may not like the voices but everybody can sing.”
