	Lester Melrose - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lester Melrose (December 14, 1891 - April, 1968) was one of the first producers of blues records.
		The Melrose sound dominated Chicago blues before World War II, but the arrival of large numbers of Southern African Americans in Chicago during and after the war brought Melrose's dominance to an end as a harder, deeper blues sound proved more popular with the new audience.
		Melrose is a member of the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame.

	Wiscasset, Edgecomb Hold Key To Bypass Construction, Melrose Say
		Melrose praised the town of Edgecomb's recent efforts to control accessibility to Route 1 by enacting a new zoning ordinance limiting the number of curb cuts that can be made.
		Melrose ultimately pared down the language describing the seasonality of traffic congestion saying there are "delays particularly in the tourist season (whatever that might be)."
		Melrose said there is different information the department can provide on this: crash rates, severity of accidents, total number of accidents, and locations of accidents.

		The joint was in Bucktown, near Grand and Halstead, a place frequented by college boys on the loose, beer-barons, hoods and hopheads; It was a fierce hell-hole where illicit liquor was the front for dope traffic and where killings became so regular that despite political protection, it was wiped out of existence.
		With Hoefer, Ben visited the Melrose cottage in late 1940, and after a never-to-be-forgotten afternoon of hot jazz and rice-in-peppers, a tentative recording date was arranged, unfortunately after a postponement Frank was secured for piano on the Signature date.
		Lester contracted the date and believes these were made after the piano solos.

		Now he appeared at their South Side music store, announcing himself and beginning a two-hour monologue that mostly concerned how great he was and the number of songs he'd composed over the years that could now make a lot of money as sheet music.
		The unique sounds that were embedded in his treasure trove of music were a virtual history of the birth of jazz, everything from vaudeville and theatre music to marches, opera, blues, ragtime, and anything else that was in the air.
		Morton was unhappy that Melrose changed the title of his "The Wolverines" to "Wolverine Blues", particularly since the song is in no way a blues number, but the incident passed.

	Monkey Joe [Jesse Coleman]: Complete Recorded Works, Vol. 1 (1935-39) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The amount of real information known about Jesse "Monkey Joe" Coleman, who recorded extensively in the 1930s for Lester Melrose in Chicago and who was still playing clubs in the Windy City in the 1960s and 1970s, is astonishingly small.
		He was born sometime around or before 1906, probably in Mississippi, and seems to have played the juke joints in the area around Jackson in the early 1930s, as well as New Orleans, where he cut his first session for RCA-Victor's Bluebird imprint in 1935, in tandem with Little Brother Montgomery.
		He later turned up in Chicago as part of Lester Melrose's stable of bluesmen, and had his next session there in 1938 backed by guitarist Charlie McCoy and drummer Fred Williams.
