Jack Melick

John T. Jack Melick is an American bandleader, pianist, and arranger.

Jack Melick was born and raised in North Plainfield, New Jersey. Like most American children of his era, piano lessons were an early part of his education. His mother was a school teacher and his father was an insurance salesman both recognized his early interest and talent as a musician and encouraged his pursuit of a musical life. He proclaimed his intention to become a band leader at the age of 7, and has spent more than 65 years as an active band leader and pianist. Raised on the Great American Songbook of the 1930s and 1940s, he became immersed in the jazz and big band cultures of his youth.
