The Roy Meriwether Trio – The Seventh Son / Blue Rondo A La Turk (1967 Columbia 45)
Columbia records 1967 – single 4-44211
Single Description:
Released in 1967 on Columbia Records, “The Seventh Son” -
“Blue Rondo A La Turk”
is a 7-inch, 45 rpm single by The Roy Meriwether Trio, catalog number 4-44211.
This release brings together two distinctive compositions, connecting
blues-rooted popular music with the adventurous spirit of modern jazz.
The A-side, “The Seventh Son,” draws on the blues and rhythm and blues tradition.
The song became widely known through versions by artists including Willie Mabon
and Johnny Rivers. In the hands of a jazz trio, it offers an opportunity to explore
the tune through instrumental phrasing, rhythmic interplay and improvisation.
On the flip side, “Blue Rondo A La Turk” takes its name from the celebrated
composition by Dave Brubeck, originally recorded by the Dave Brubeck Quartet
for the 1959 album Time Out. Its distinctive rhythmic structure made it one of
the best-known examples of Brubeck's experimentation with unusual time signatures.
Together, these two selections illustrate the musical versatility associated
with Roy Meriwether's work, where jazz interpretation meets familiar
melodies and groove-oriented arrangements.
