 Description :

Released by Columbia Records, Soul Invader captures pianist 
Roy Meriwether and his trio exploring the meeting point of jazz, 
rhythm and blues, and soul. This vintage album combines 
swinging piano improvisations, blues-inflected phrasing and 
accessible melodies, reflecting the vibrant 
soul-jazz sound of the late 1960s.

Issued in the United States under catalog number CS 9544, 
the LP features 11 tracks, ranging from jazz standards and 
familiar popular songs to groove-oriented selections. 
The result is an engaging record for collectors of 1960s jazz, 
soul-jazz, Hammond-era groove culture and 
classic Columbia vinyl.

Meriwether's expressive piano style brings warmth and 
rhythmic drive to the programme, making Soul Invader 
a worthwhile discovery for listeners interested in the 
connections between jazz, blues and soul.
