HERE IS THE ULTRA HIP, ULTRA FUNKED UP JAZZ KILLER BY THE ROY MERIWETHER TRIO, RECORDED LIVE IN 1972 AT ARNIE'S MARKET SQ. LOUNGE, INDIANA. GOTTA ASK MYSELF, IS THIS PLACE STILL STANDING AFTER THIS ON FIRE SESSION?

THIS LP IS HOT, FROM BEGINNING TO END! OFTEN COMPARED TO CERTAIN OTHER GRAILS, NAMELY THE SERIOUS FUNK BEASTS, TOBE BY THE OVERTON BERRY ENSEMBLE & LYMAN WOODARD'S STRATA EAST KILLER SATURDAY NIGHT SPECIAL. LIKE THEM, THIS LP FEATURES SEVERELY FEROCIOUS GROOVES AND OVERALL DRUM HEAVY FUNK, BUT THERE'S SO MUCH MORE THAN THE DRUMS. . . . I SERIOUSLY CANNOT RECALL HEARING A LIVE LP WHICH CONTAINS SO MUCH DIRT! THE FACT THAT THIS LP IS LIVE AND AS SUCH WAS IN NO WAY DOCTORED, GIVES THE LISTENER A PROPER APPRECIATION OF HOW HARD THESE GUYS PLAYED BACK IN THE DAY.
EACH TRACK IS FILLED WITH TOUGH EDGED, RAW DRUM RHYTHMS ALONGSIDE THE SCORCHING PIANO LEAD THAT JUST BANGS! CONSISTENTLY HEAVY WITH GNARLY DRUM & BASS INTERPLAY, THEY EVEN MANAGE TO DROP AN EVIL SOUNDING FUZZ GUITAR INTO THE CUT CRUCIFIXION, ALONGSIDE THE MASSIVE HIP HOP FRIENDLY GROOVES. EVEN MCARTHUR PARK WHICH NORMALLY SOUNDS WACK, TURNS INTO A WICKED, SLY DANCE JAZZ MONSTER, SIZZLING WITH RAW & NASTY FUNK.
I THINK THIS IS MORE AKIN TO FRANK CUNNIMUNDO'S VERSION OF ELEANOR RIGBY WITH THE WEIGHT OF THE GROOVES & AN ELECTRIFYING ATMOSPHERE YOU ONLY GET WITH A LIVE PERFORMANCE.

A SERIOUS SLICE OF STATESIDE INDIE JAZZ, BUT BE WARNED!!! THIS ISN'T ANY EASY COCKTAIL JOINT YOU'D SLING ON FOR PEOPLE WHO HATE JAZZ MUSIC: IT'S THE BOMB AND AS TOUGH AS NAILS. THE REAL DEAL!
