This solo was recorded in Chicago during March of 1929 featuring Frank Melrose at the piano,
accompanied by unknown drums & speech.

This record and a number of others were produced in 1929 by Frank's brother Lester Melrose
and released under the pseudonym "Broadway Rastus".

*"Rock My Soul" was composed by Frank Melrose.

A fluttering intro gives way to this heavy stomp with floating figures that continue to develop thematically throughout giving the piece a thoroughly thought-provoking appeal. -"Oh Sweet mama pass the jug!"
