Singer, songwriter, poet, actor, comedian, author of theatrical works and soundtracks, his career as a musician can be easily divided into three distinct phases, in which a well recognizable change in poetics corresponds to a change not only of the record company but also of the collaborators. Far from the pop aesthetics and not interested in prostituting his talent, Waits revealed himself immediately as an original author, able to extract from the limited extent of his hoarse voice tones that were both bitter and romantic. He was also an extraordinary entertainer, able to season his set with funny and surreal stories through which he easily got in touch with the audience. By chance, in the audience there was also the manager of Frank Zappa, Fred Neil, Captain Beefheart and Linda Rondstadt: Herb Cohen. He immediately noticed Waitsexceptional talent, became his agent that very night, and had him sign a contract with Elektra Asylum the following year. The debut would be the splendid Closing Time (1973), a collection of songs that perfectly represents the Waits of the early seventies and from which develop both the aesthetics and the poetics that would characterize all the albums recorded for David Geffens label: The Heart of Saturday Night (1974), Nighthawks at the Diner (1975), Small Change (1976), Foreign Affairs (1977), Blue Valentine (1978), and Heartattack and Vine (1980). If during his tour the record company had booked a room at the Holiday Inn, Waits canceled the reservation and moved to a dump. The music was an acoustic folk-jazz that album after album was enriched with blues and rock sounds, more sophisticated arrangements and solutions that were gradually less linked to a folk ballads pattern, i.e. The concerts saw Waits, usually sitting at the piano, alone or accompanied by an acoustic combo, entertaining the audience with funny stories seemingly disconnected from his repertoire. A sort of Stand-up comedian that unraveled the unlikely tangle of his characters misadventures, a character that Tom refined further through interviews and television appearances. He felt imprisoned in the character he had created and wanted to produce something different and to work with new collaborators, without continuing to do what the audience and the critics expected from him. ![]() After completing the two projects, he decided to separate his own path from that of his manager Herb Cohen, to no longer work with Howe, and also to change his record company.
