Bernie Maloney
Bernie Maloney grew up on Long Island New York and at a very young age started playing saxophone in local big bands and eventually found a home in smaller groups. Through College he then studied briefly with Al Gallodoro, Bobby Dransite and Roe Colletta on flute. He relocated to Tamp Bay in 1991, and quickly began playing with various groups, founded the Bernie Maloney Quartet (BMQ), played Bari Sax for several years in the Sinatra Rat Pack Tribute Band, and co-managed the Cigar City Big Band. After forming the After Five Big Band Bernie downsized the band to form the current After Five Jazz group.
Bernie is an endorser for Bari Woodwinds and plays Bari Woodwinds mouthpieces and reeds exclusively.
