Highly unique blend of rock, jazz, blues by one of Philadelphia’s great bands


After nearly 40 years, an amazing live recording of Philadelphia’s hottest band of the late 60s, WAX, was discovered.

As the band had been defunct for years, several of the members and management became music industry luminaries..writers, performers, A&R.

When bassist BEAU JONES was diagnosed with brain cancer in the summer of 2009, guitarist RICK LEVY got everyone together to spend time and give support and love to BEAU. ROB HYMAN, RICK CHERTOFF, DAVID KAGAN, all reunited, and at that time, another friend ARNIE HOLLAND, CEO of Lightyear Entertainment (distrib.by EMI)..played this lost LIVE recording of WAX..and everyone was amazed at the performance, songwriting, energy, timelessness, and passion. They all decided the music should be heard, and ARNIE said..Lets put it out on Lightyear.

Here then, is MELTED….long overdue, but worth the wait!!
