Sean Malone is easily one of the busiest Stick players out there and
a remarkable musician. As an accomplished Stick player and bassist,
he has done a whole range of session work from Brazilian jazz to
English pop. In the early 90s, Malone was part of the group
Cynic. Cynic was a Florida based progressive metal band that
managed to pull together a loyal following that still follow the
various band members today. Since their breakup in 1994, Malone has
continued to work as a session player but has also made remarkable
achievements in the academic world. He has written two books;
Dictionary of Bass Grooves and Portrait of Jaco: The
Solos Collection that were published by Hal Leonard. In addition,
he has had papers on theory and music cognition published and has given
presentations at conferences such as the Society for Music Theory
and The Glenn Gould Conference. Currently, he teaches at the
University of Oregon while working on his Ph.D.
