Frank Melrose Kansas City - Jelly Roll Stomp - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Pianist Frank Melrose was the younger brother of music publishers and agents Walter and Lester Melrose, who ran Melrose Brothers music store in Chicago and were very involved in the business end of the Chicago jazz and blues scene of the '20s and '30s. Frank left Chicago as a teen and settled in Kansas City. He recorded sporadically in the '20s with Wingy Manone and Johnny Dodd's. His last session was in '41 as he was found dead that Labor Day. This previously unissued session was recorded in 1940 and features quintet sides with trumpeter Pete Daily, trio and solo material.

Vinyl LP pressing. The unexpected Ice Age that seized the music world in 2002 continues as Eisbrecher masterminds Alexx Wesselsky and Noel Pix return for another classic that is sure to cause waves in both the electronic and metal scenes. After a successful run of tours and festival appearances in Europe including Alice Cooper's 'Theatre of Death Tour' and The Nova Rock Festival, Eisbrecher is poised to once again conquer the US clubs and charts. Heavier and harder than ever before, Die Hölle muss warten features an expertly crafted blend of crushing guitars, menacing vocals, and melodic synth lines. Not one to stay the course, Eisbrecher also shows it's ability to incorporate modern influences and blend them into songs that stay uniquely Eisbrecher, such as the dubstep-tinged Herz aus Eis. The album's opener Tanz mit mir is a perfect example of what modern industrial rock should sound like, while tracks such as Rette mich slow things down and feature frontman Alex's crooning voice over beautiful synth melodies. With such a diverse range of influences and perfect production quality, Die Hölle muss warten is another step forward for a band that has already established itself as one of the premier electronic rock acts of our time.
