Professional Bio - Malcolm Hunter

Keyboardist Malcolm Hunter was born in Queens, NYC, and began playing the piano at 6. He attended Ithaca College on a music scholarship, and performed as a singer - songwriter. He was an accompanist to many, and wrote music for dance, film and avant-garde theatre. After returning to New York, he played with the Last Band on Earth, the Trancetown Road Show, and Tycoon Dog, in addition to studio projects and his own gigs over the last 25 years. |

He wrote and released "WUNDerground Radio" with Producer Steve Ward, and then, "Tryin' to Sort It All Out", with the trio, CoreNYC. Reflecting upon his life on the margins - and living in between Hell's Kitchen and the remnants of the East Village squatters scene - he wrote "Nostalgia In My Square Head". An homage to Mingus' "Nostalgia in Times Square", NIMSH is a funky, jazz-gospel record about Hell's Kitchen; a journey through the corners of alleys, crash pads and lost time, which features the Makeshift Dream Orchestra. |
