John Malachi spent most of his career accompanying top jazz-oriented singers. A self-taught pianist, Malachi's first important musical job was with Trummy Young from 1943-44. He was a member of the classic Billy Eckstine Bebop Orchestra from 1944-45, contributing both piano solos and advanced arrangements. Malachi was back with Eckstine in 1947, toured with Illinois Jacquet in 1948 and then worked with Pearl Bailey in 1950, Dinah Washington in 1951, Louis Jordan in 1951, Sarah Vaughan from 1952-54, Al Hibbler from 1955-58,



Malachi's later years were spent freelancing in Washington D.C., also accompaning Clea Bradford, Milton Smith, George V Johnson Jr, Mary Jefferson, Buck Hill, teaching at Howard University and conducting the Jazz workshop at the "PigFoot" owned and operated by guitarist Bill Harris. The workshops produced and mentored many up and coming musicians who graced the Jazz scene in DC today! Geri Allen, Marshall Keys, Dick Smith, Ephriam Woolfook, Steve Williams, Gail Dixon, Marc Curry, Marcus Johnson and many more...

For years Malachi was the rehearsal pianist for the Count Basie Band.





John Malachi, Dr. Billy Taylor and Shirley Horn are three of the most prominent pianist to come from Washington DC after EDWARD KENNEDY "DUKE" ELLINGTON.
