TOM WAITS
with JIM HUGHART, SHELLY MANNE, FRANK VICARI, JACK SHELDON, GENE CIPRIANO, BETTE MIDLER
In the 1970s, Tom Waits combined a lyrical focus on desperate, low-life characters with a persona that seemed
to embody the same lifestyle, which he sang about in a raspy, gravelly voice. From the '80s on, his work became increasingly theatrical as he moved into acting and composing. Growing up in Southern California, Waits attracted the attention of manager Herb Cohen, who also handled FrankZappa, and was signed by him at the beginning of the 1970s, resulting in the material later released as The Early Years and The Early Years, Vol. 2. His formal recording debut came with Closing Time (1973) on Asylum Records, an album that contained "Ol' 55," which was covered by labelmates the Eagles for their On the Border album. Waits attracted critical acclaim and a cult audience for his subsequent albums, The Heart of Saturday Night (1974), the two-LP live set Nighthawks at the Diner (1975), Small Change (1976), Foreign Affairs (1977), Blue Valentine (1978), and Heart Attack and Vine (1980). His music and persona proved highly cinematic, and, starting in 1978, he launched parallel careers as an actor and as a composer of movie music..."FOREIGN AFFAIRS"

West Coast jazzmen Jack Sheldon on trumpet, saxophonist Frank Vicari, bassist Jim Hughart, and drummer Shelly Manne.
Further accompaniment was provided by an orchestra arranged and conducted by Bob Alcivar. Introduced by the
instrumental "Cindy's Waltz," which sounds like a cinematic cue, it's followed by the bluesy, alone-on-a-Saturday-night
longing expressed in "Muriel." The aforementioned "Perfect Strangers" is a duet with Bette Midler...(AllMusic)
