BluesBrother Tom Bones Malone- arranged Darlene Love's Christmas song on Letterman is also a Klezmer

DemoCastMedia.com Following his playing two sets on trombone in an L.A.17-piece band with the Miami Horns' / Conan O'Brien brassmen, Mark Pender & LaBamba Rosenberg, the legendary brass-blower, Tom Malone chatted openly with me. From 1975 to 1985, Mr. Malone worked as arranger for Saturday Night Live and as its musical director from 1981 to 1985. He wrote the chart for the skit that introduced John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd as the Blues Brothers. He appeared in the movie version and in 1993 reunited with Paul Shaffer, who worked for Saturday Night Live, and Will Lee, who was a member of the CBS Orchestra. He worked on the film score for Blues Brothers 2000.
Malone joined the CBS Orchestra on November 1, 1993, and contributed more than 1,600 arrangements to the Late Show with David Letterman.
