People's People The People's People Present The Spirit Of David

From the liner notes by Karl Alfonso Defensor Evangelista:
"(Jeff) Jones had musicians commit to three years of preparation, and he was a harsh taskmaster; music was drilled—“like the army,” as Jones describes it. Participants were more or less forbidden from taking paying gigs in the interim, and the bandleader, saving most of his capital for studio time, could not afford to feed or pay the band. The ensemble was so thoroughly rehearsed by the time of the session that the entire record was performed in one take, and the album’s myriad breaks and deft orchestration changes were accomplished without visual cues."
Steve Williams, ukvibe.org:
"In an era marked by turmoil and uncertainty, The Spirit of David offers a rare kind of solace and uplift—music as a healing balm for the mind and soul. Its powerful blend of spiritual jazz and communal intent serves as a reminder that art can be a vital source of strength."
Thomas Patterson, Shindig Magazine:
"Based out of NYC, Frederiksberg has been unearthing some of the rarest jazz platters around, and this month’s The People’s People Present The Spirit Of David by Oakland-based PEOPLE’S PEOPLE is no different. Recorded in one take in 1974 and released in’76 , The Spirit Of David was overseen by tenor saxophonist Jeff Jones, whose playing is both hypnotic and deeply spiritual. Touching on fusion and soul, this is a winding groove of an album, with some amazing highpoints, including the ultra-funky ‘Fritz’."
