Bruce Hornsby Here Come The Noise Makers 1998 to 1999

Here Come The Noise Makers is a live album by Bruce Hornsby.

It was recorded at concerts from 1998 to the New Year’s Eve concert in 1999.

It’s an odd album title as it suggests a loud rock & roll band. Instead we have an album by a singer songwriter that draws on jazz and classical music. Hornsby had started playing with the Grateful Dead and this album also includes some improvisational jam style playing that stretches out the songs.

JV Collier – bass
Michael Baker – drums, backing vocals

Guests on some tracks are John D’earth (trumpet), Debbie Henry (vocals), Steve Kimock (guitar), Bonny Bonaparte (drums) and Land Richards (drums).

The album shows that there’s much more to Bruce Hornsby than his big hit The Way It Is. I like albums to have a unique identity – there own little space in my mind – and this album achieves that task.

It’s strongly recommended to anyone who wants to hear piano based improvisations with vocals rather than a real jazz album.
