Bio
The Past:
Swing clarinetist & saxman Jack Malmstrom and his Cats recently
stepped out of the late 1940s and arrived in present day Los Angeles to
the delight and occasional bewilderment of vintage jazz fans and swing
dancers. The Cats are grateful to maintain a very active schedule
holding forth with their unique brand of “Pre-Bop” swing.
The Present:
Audiences are amused to discover the Cats’ play list overflows with one
half hand-picked standards, one half forgotten gems… and a third-half,
Jack’s Cats originals done in a period style. Earlier this year they
released a new collection of all original songs, “Jack’s Cats: The State of Swing.” Dancing — as well as listening — is encouraged.
The Future:
The band continues to cat around Los Angeles with a busy schedule of public and private performances. They are happy to travel too if you ask nicely!
