“Hal was the wry and soulful and mysterious historical rememberer,” Tom Waits writes
music producer Hal Willner with a touching essay.
“Hal was the wry and soulful and mysterious historical rememberer,” reads a tribute co-authored by Waits and his wife Kathleen Brennan. “He specialized in staging strange musical bedfellows like Betty Carter and the Replacements or The Residents backing up Conway Twitty. Oh, the wild seeds of Impresario Hal."“He was drawn equally to the danger of a fiasco and the magical power of illumination that his legendary productions held.
Aside from his work at the late-night sketch comedy show, starting back in 1981, Willner produced several scores and soundtracks, and albums for the likes of Lou Reed and Marianne Faithfull.
