Tom Wait

Tom Jones is one of the most popular vocalists to emerge from the British Invasion. From the mid-'60s on, Jones has sung nearly every form of popular music – from pop, rock, show tunes, and country to dance, techno, and more – while his vocal style, a full-throated, robust baritone with little regard for nuance or subtlety, remained a swaggering constant…

Employing analog synthesizers that emulate various sounds and their placement design, etc. in the New York City subway system, a sound environment is created for improvising musicians who use that electronic sound as an "aural score…I am…privileged to ride the same train with them" (Hamilton). The excellent musicians for this ride are Thomas Buckner, baritone vocal, Roscoe Mitchell, alto sax, Ralph Samuelson, shakuhachi, Peter Zummo, trombone, and Jonathan Haas, percussion. Often delicate and mysterious, at times gently humorous and just plain odd, the sounds unfold inner, emotional experience among the subterranean. Fascinating and original.

While we are waiting for the new album of Tom Waits, I've thought to offer this one, which does not appear in the official discography of the singer and which corresponds to a recording made in 1977 within the world tour that the singer had make that year.

This 3 CD set includes radio broadcasts transmitted during this initial period of Tom Waits career, and features complete live performances recorded in; 1975 at the studios of KRQS FM, Minneapolis, featuring just Tom alone at his piano; in December 1976 at Media Sound Studios - another in studio session during which, between numbers, Tom is interviewed by the station presenter; and in 1977, back in the big apple at the famous, My Father s Place venue, out on Long Island.
