Make a Jazz Noise Here es un álbum de Frank Zappa, publicado en 1991 por Zappa Records. El disco incluye 25 canciones, entre ellas «Stinkfoot», «When Yuppies Go To Hell», «Fire And Chains» y «Let's Make the Water Turn Black».
Sobre el álbum
"Make a Jazz Noise Here" es el tercer y último lanzamiento que documenta la legendaria gira de 1988, y completa una trilogía esencial en la discografía de Frank Zappa. Si "Broadway" era la política y "Best Band" el repertorio, este doble álbum se centra en la faceta más instrumental, compleja y jazzística de la banda, como bien indica su título.
El disco está repleto de algunas de las composiciones más exigentes de Zappa. Piezas como "The Black Page" o "Big Swifty" son interpretadas con una precisión y una energía que quitan el aliento. Este álbum es, en gran medida, un escaparate para los solistas de la banda, con largos pasajes de improvisación sobre las complejas estructuras de Zappa.
El propio Frank Zappa brilla con algunos de sus solos de guitarra más inspirados de esa época. La interacción entre su guitarra y la marimba de Ed Mann o los teclados de Bobby Martin es sencillamente telepática. El disco se siente como la conversación entre doce músicos virtuosos.
"Make a Jazz Noise Here" es la pieza final de un puzzle monumental. Es la parte más desafiante de la trilogía de 1988, pero también la más gratificante para aquellos interesados en el Zappa compositor y en la improvisación de alto nivel. Es la prueba final de que aquella fue la mejor banda que muchos nunca escucharon en su vida.
