With Evans, Malone recorded seven albums and toured Europe, Japan and the Far East.Ī call in the early 1970s from Saturday Night Live (SNL), a new,revolutionary, late-night comedy show on NBC, proved highly fruitful for Malone, who arranged for the show from 1975 to 1985. In 1973, Malone began a close, 15-year association with Gil Evans, who exerted considerable musical influence on him. Upon graduation, Malone worked in bands of Woody Herman (1969), Duke Pearson (1970), Louie Bellson (1971), Doc Severinsen and Blood, Sweat & Tears (1973). After transferring to North Texas State University, Malone continued working as both a player and a contractor for a variety of groups. In response to a call from Warren Covington, leader of The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, he expanded into contracting musicians. Tom “Bones” Malone began his professional career on a job playing lead trumpet with Brenda Lee at a club in Jackson, MS, while enrolled at the University of Southern Mississippi.
