TOM “BONES” MALONE
UNT alumnus Tom “Bones” Malone is a member of the Blues Brothers, but his career has been no bluesy tale. Born June 16, 1947 in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, the trombone specialist began his professional career playing lead trumpet in a club in Jackson, MS. Shortly after, he came to UNT, where he graduated with a degree in psychology in 1969 along with
Sue Jones. She relocated to Grapevine, Texas with her mother after her parents’ divorce in 1986, and studied jazz piano at UNT for two years before moving back to New York to pursue her music career in 1999. Jones’ soothing jazz, pop and country-fused vocals took the music industry by storm in 2002, when her debut album, “Come Away With Me,” netted five Grammys in one night.
The former UNT student has released five albums in the last decade -- three of them No. 1 bestsellers -- and has won dozens of industry awards for her work. Jone has sold more than 50 million records worldwide, making her one of the most successful female recording artists of all time. Jones is currently on tour in Europe promoting her newest album, and lives in New York.
Blues Brother bandmate Lou Marini in 1969 -- both played in the One O’Clock Lab Band. Malone woked with artists such as James Brown throughout the ‘70s, and helped arrange music for Saturday Night Live from 1975 to ‘85. He wrote the music for the first Blues Brother skit featuring John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, and in 1993 joined the CBS Orchestra, David Letterman’s house band. Since then, Malone has recorded a solo album, contributed more
than 400 arrangements to the Late Show and played on themes for multiple CBS programs, and as a studio musician, appears on thousands of records and commercials. Today, Malone still plays in the CBS Orchestra in New York City, and plays with a Blues Brothers tribute band in Pennsylvania. Malone may not be getting much mileage out of his psychology degree from UNT, but seems to be doing all right for himself.
