Tom Waits - Nighthawks at the Diner (2018 Remaster)

For his third release, Tom Waits recorded a double album of new music live in front of an audience at the Record Plant Studios in Los Angeles. 1975's Nighthawks At The Diner features Waits setting up many songs by telling the stories behind them, a practice that remains an integral part of his live show to this day. Waits recorded this record with a jazz combo consisting of Mike Melvoin (piano), Pete Christlieb (tenor sax), Jim Hughart (bass) and Bill Goodwin (drums). This 2018 reissue was remastered by Waits / Brennan.

Heavyweight double vinyl produced by ANTI Records in 2024.
