"Small Change" is the fourth studio album by singer and songwriter Tom Waits, released in 1976, on Asylum Records. It was recorded at Wally Heider's Studio 3 in Hollywood. It was successful commercially and outsold his previous albums. This resulted in Waits putting together a touring band - "The Nocturnal Emissions", which consisted of Frank Vicari on tenor saxophone, FitzGerald Jenkins on bass guitar and Chip White on drums and vibraphone. "The Nocturnal Emissions" toured Europe and the United States extensively till May 1977.
