The Roy Meriwether Trio – The Stone Truth Columbia CS 9384
Columbia records 1966 – CS 9384
Album Description
Released on Columbia Records in 1966, The Stone Truth
showcases the soulful piano jazz of American pianist and
bandleader Roy Meriwether. Blending swinging rhythms,
blues feeling, gospel influences and Latin-tinged arrangements,
the album brings together jazz standards, contemporary
popular songs and groove-oriented instrumental performances.
Meriwether's piano playing combines rhythmic drive with
melodic sensitivity, moving comfortably between
straight-ahead jazz, bluesy passages and danceable soul jazz.
The programme includes interpretations of Duke Ellington's
classic “Things Ain't What They Used to Be,
” Herbie Hancock's “Watermelon Man,” and
the Broadway favourite “Feeling Good.”
Produced by the legendary jazz producer Teo Macero,
The Stone Truth is an appealing example of mid-1960s
Columbia jazz, when piano trios were exploring the
meeting point between traditional jazz, popular
music and the emerging soul-jazz sound.
