1930s - 40s swing jazz band.
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 ..." The group played in the film St. Louis Blues (1939) and You're in the Army Now (1941). Malneck subsequently announced that he was changing the group's name to Matty Malneck and His St. Louis Blues Orchestra.
His orchestra provided music for The Charlotte Greenwood Show on radio in the mid-1940s and for Campana Serenade in 1942-1943.
