The Past:<\/strong>
\nSwing clarinetist & saxman Jack Malmstrom and his Cats recently stepped out of the late 1940s and arrived in present day Los Angeles to the delight and occasional bewilderment of vintage jazz fans and swing dancers. The Cats are grateful to maintain a very active schedule holding forth with their unique brand of \u201cPre-Bop\u201d swing. For an abbreviated summary of some of their past adventures see Our Scrapbook<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Present:<\/strong>
\nAudiences are amused to discover the Cats’ play list overflows with one half hand-picked standards, one half forgotten gems\u2026 and a third-half, Jack\u2019s Cats originals done in a period style. Earlier this year they released a new collection of all original songs, \u201cJack\u2019s Cats: The State of Swing.<\/a>\u201d Dancing \u2014 as well as listening \u2014 is encouraged.<\/p>\n

The Future:<\/strong>
\nThe band continues to cat around Los Angeles with a busy schedule of public and private performances. Follow them on facebook<\/a> or via e-newsletter<\/a>.<\/p>\n
