Matthew Michael "Matty" Malneck (December 9, 1903 – February 25, 1981) was an American jazz violinist, songwriter, and arranger.
Career
Born in 1903, Malneck's career as a violinist began when he was age 16. He was a member of the Paul Whiteman orchestra from 1926 to 1937 and during the same period recorded with Mildred Bailey, Annette Hanshaw, Frank Signorelli, and Frankie Trumbauer.[1][2] He led a big band that recorded for Brunswick, Columbia, and Decca.[1] His orchestra provided music for The Charlotte Greenwood Show on radio in the mid-1940s[3] and Campana Serenade in 1942–1943.[4]
A newspaper article published September 19, 1938, noted that having only one brass instrument in Malneck's eight-instrument group was "unique for swing" as were the $3,000 harp and a drummer who played on "an old piece of corrugated paper box".[5] The group played in the film St. Louis Blues (1939) and You're in the Army Now (1941).[6] Malneck announced he was changing the group's name to Matty Malneck and His St. Louis Blues Orchestra.[7]
Malneck's credits as a songwriter have overshadowed his contributions as a performer. He composed songs which became hits, such as "Eeny Meeny Miney Mo" (1935) and "Goody Goody" (1936; both with lyrics by Johnny Mercer), "I'll Never Be the Same" (1932; music by Malneck & Frank Signorelli, lyrics by Gus Kahn), and "I'm Thru With Love" (1931; music by Malneck & Fud Livingston, lyrics by Kahn).[1][2]
