This piano solo was recorded in Chicago on April 9th 1930 by Frank Melrose.

*"Market Street Jive" was composed by Frank Melrose.

After enjoying a reasonable degree of success by the 1930s Frank began supplementing his musical income with a day job at a factory. However his stomping boogie piano style with its Jelly Roll Morton influence could still be heard after hours at the bars and clubs of Chicago's South Side.
