Pat Mallinger was born and raised in St. Paul, Minnesota and began playing the saxophone at 11 years of age. He received his Jazz Studies degree from North Texas State University on a “One O’clock Lab Band” Scholarship.
He lived and performed in Los Angeles, Dallas, Boston, and Japan, before establishing Chicago as his home in 1990. He is a co-leader of Sabertooth, which has been the mainstay band at the Green Mill Lounge each Saturday night from 1992 to 2018.
Pat now leads the Saturday night band at the Green Mill as Pat Mallinger’s Late Night Jazz Party. He is also heard around Chicago performing with the Bobby Lewis Quintet, Model Citizens Big Band, and his own quartet to name a few.
Pat performs concerts and festivals nationally and internationally both as a bandleader and sideman. Since 2013 each month, Pat and his wife Tamara host sold-out jazz concerts in their home.
In addition to leading the Ravinia Jazz Mentor Program founded by Ramsey Lewis, Pat Mallinger offers private saxophone lessons either in his Chicago studio or online. Pat also offers workshops and masterclasses on improvisation and composition.
