Frank Zappa Make A Jazz Noise Here 1988

Make A Jazz Noise Here is a live album by Frank Zappa.

It was recorded on his February to June 1988 world tour and released in 1991. Two other live albums also came from this tour where they covered a vast range of different songs – Broadway the Hard Way with new songs and The Best Band You’ve Never Heard which focused on oldies and covers.

This album, in contrast, concentrates on the more instrumental songs that Zappa has performed. It will therefore appeal to fans of jazz and prog rock who appreciate expert musicianship.
