简介

Small Change是汤姆等待先生发行的第四张专辑,以爵士乐四重奏编制为主,包括萨克斯风手Lew Tabackin、贝斯手Jim Hughart、鼓手Shelly Manne以及由Tom Waits本人担任钢琴手的位置,这四人搭配无间,再佐以淡淡的弦乐铺陈,与汤姆等待先生那浸泡在威士忌中、破锣嗓子般的伤心酒醉声音,叙述着一首首属于爵士与蓝调对话的诗篇,怎么能不令人动容。虽然Tom Waits独特的沙哑声音与专辑里的美丽旋律形成极大的反差,但这种反差却也构成一种难以言喻的对比美感,让听者游走于苦难人间与美好天堂的模糊地带,是一种麻醉,也一种陶醉。几首歌曲像Tom Traubert's Blues、Jitterbug Boy、I Wish I Was in New Orleans、The Piano Has Been Drinking、The Invitation to Blues、Bad Liver and A Broken Heart与I Can't Wait to Get off Work等,每次听完都让我都有种想哭的冲动,或许是因为汤姆等待先生身体里面酒精所引起的化学作用,反而使得他的歌曲对情感失落的表达更纯粹,也更直击人心。 Small Change是一张适合在午夜给伤心人下酒的专辑。我的朋友Locust,这句话我是对你说的,不知道你现在过得好不好,希望你已经不再把悲伤留给自己了。 Small Change is an album by Tom Waits, released in 1976 on Asylum Records. It was recorded in July 1976. The fourth release in Tom Waits' series of skid row travelogues, Small Change proves to be the archetypal album of his '70s work. A jazz trio comprising tenor sax player Lew Tabackin, bassist Jim Hughart, and drummer Shelly Manne, plus an occasional string section, back Waits and his piano on songs steeped in whiskey and atmosphere in which he alternately sings in his broken-beaned drunk's voice (now deeper and overtly influenced by Louis Armstrong) and recites jazzy poetry. It's as if Waits were determined to combine the Humphrey Bogart and Dooley Wilson characters from Casablanca with a dash of On the Road's Dean Moriarty to illuminate a dark world of bars and all-night diners. Of course, he'd been in that world before, but in songs like otherwise, you're not Tom Waits' kind of listener.
