The Roy Meriwether Trio – Soul Knight (1968) Capitol Records ST-102
Capitol Records 1968 – ST-102
description:
Released in 1968 on Capitol Records, Soul Knight is a soulful jazz
album by American pianist Roy Meriwether and his trio. Blending
jazz improvisation, gospel-inspired piano, blues feeling and
funky rhythms, the album captures the spirit of late-1960s soul jazz.
Roy Meriwether leads the trio on piano, backed by Lester Bass on
bass and Mike Ward on drums. Together, the musicians deliver
an energetic instrumental sound that brings jazz sophistication
and deep soul feeling to a selection of popular songs and
groove-oriented material.
The album features jazz-funk highlights such as “Cow Cow Boogaloo,”
“Mission Impossible” and “Mean Greens,” alongside soulful
interpretations of “Think” and “Chain of Fools,” associated with
Aretha Franklin, and the Beatles classic “Norwegian Wood.”
Simon & Garfunkel's “Mrs. Robinson”
also receives the trio's instrumental treatment.
Throughout Soul Knight, Meriwether's piano playing combines
rhythmic drive, blues expression and gospel-influenced intensity.
The result is a compelling example of the crossover between jazz,
R&B and soul that made the late 1960s such a rewarding
period for groove-focused jazz recordings.
For collectors of rare groove, vintage jazz-funk, funky piano jazz
and soul-jazz LPs, the original Capitol stereo pressing, catalog
number ST-102, is an interesting addition to a collection
of 1960s American jazz recordings.
