Jim Malloy - I like to think of myself as a new but not young voice....

Biography
I like to think of myself as a new but not young voice. Growing up in what was then called "Sugar Hill", in New York City, the strains of Big Band Jazz, Be-Bop, Blues and Mambo could be heard everywhere. I sang, listened to and enjoyed the sounds of my own generation: Rhythm and Blues, Soul, Latin and Doo Wop music. The sounds of Dizzy, Eckstein, Sinatra, Prysock, Noro Morales, Louis Armstrong, and Louis Jordan as well as the music of my mother's gospel choir filled our apartment.

During my teens and later as a young man in the military, I sang and traveled with a number of vocal Doo Wop groups. I've worked over the past fifteen years as a jazz band singer, gaining varied experiences with bands such as the Felix Swing Band, the Art Lillard Heavenly Big Band and as an R&B singer with Kameleon Orchestras.

I also book myself as a single jazz vocalist/leader hiring combos for different venues in the New York metropolitan area, availing myself of the great jazz sidemen that can be found here. I’ve recorded my first CD (Jim Malloy – Jazz Vocalist), aided by Tenorman extraordinaire Bob Kindred and Co-Producer Anne Phillips.
