I suspect that the artist who did the graphic didn&#8217;t know a lot about music though as this is quite a peculiar figuration for a jazz combo. Sans piano and bass, there&#8217;s but a guitarist and drummer accompanying the three-piece horn section, the middle horn of which looks more like the end of a hookah than the trombone it probably should have been. I also love the little muscle man with the A-bomb afro hovering under the band, stylistically completely inconsistent with the rest of the figures. All of which means this noisemaker firmly hacks a deep notch in the belt of Kitsch.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9779\" title=\"noisemaker_2264\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alleewillis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/noisemaker_2264.jpg\" alt=\"noisemaker_2264\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alleewillis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/noisemaker_2264.jpg 375w, https:\/\/alleewillis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/noisemaker_2264-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9777\" title=\"noisemaker_2266\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alleewillis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/noisemaker_2266.jpg\" alt=\"noisemaker_2266\" width=\"338\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alleewillis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/noisemaker_2266.jpg 338w, https:\/\/alleewillis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/noisemaker_2266-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 338px) 100vw, 338px\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Battered and rusty, this vintage 30&#8217;s noisemaker still exhibits signs of life with a great hardwood-ball-against-tin sound that I still use as percussion on a lot of my songs.
