Elizabeth Sullivan

Elizabeth Sullivan

Elizabeth Fowler Sullivan was born in California during the Great Depression to parents that in her words “Went to California in search of fortune, but all they got was me.” When she was two years old, they returned to Oklahoma City and settled along Lightning Creek where she was raised in one of her grandfather’s rental houses.

While attending Heronville Grade School, she met Jim Sullivan and eventually they fell in love. They married in 1947 while still attending Capitol Hill High School, and in 1950, their first child, Michael, was born before moving to Norman in 1968, they lived in Boggy Depot where 5 of their 8 children were born with whom they shared their passion for music. “Music was such an important part of our lives... we just did music much of the time within the nurture of our church.”

Music encompasses Elizabeth’s life in such away, that after 26 years, she returned to The University of Oklahoma to get a degree in music, but after the first four years, her goals took a new direction. At the age of 76, she received her degree in English with an emphasis on Writing and Literature and was accepted into Phi Beta Kappa. However, before she even received her degree, Betty was an accomplished and published writer, composing music, poems, and essays, and when combined with her daughter Heather’s photography, Voices of a Mother and Daughter was created and published. Among her CDs that she recorded is If Not Now, When, and on May 22, 2011, she introduced her new CD entitled After September, (Available on iTunes) which was a loving tribute and memorial to her husband Jim. She also has a CD titled Together Through Time which is the poetry of Robert and Elizabeth Browning set to music Elizabeth composed.

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma is the place of Elizabeth’s youth--her early musical training and schooling. Recently, at the Cowboy Hall of Fame, she received the Lifetime Achievement Award from Capitol Hill High School. Her home is now Norman, Oklahoma, whose Chamber of Commerce gave her the Neighbor Award. And it is in Norman that she continues to study, write, and plan for future performances around the country.

"Mother of Singers, Mistress of Song,” has performed in New York City at venues such as the Oak Room at the Algonquin, the Weill Recital Hall at

Carnegie, Helen’s, the Metropolitan Room, and Zankel Hall at Carnegie. She has also participated in the Brownville Concert Series in Nebraska and has sung at Town Hall for the Cabaret Convention. Bob Dotson featured the family on the NBC’s Today Show.

Tim Sullivan

Stephen Holden with the New York Times wrote, "Mr. Sullivan's good natured folksiness set the stage... a guitar-strumming Oklahoma cowboy who led the audience in a jubilant singalong of 'This Land Is Your Land.' He preceded it with a rhymed catalog of the names of his 100 biggest musical influences, spanning every genre... during the opening concert of the 23rd New york Cabaret Convention at the Rose Theatre, Jazz at Lincoln Center, gave this annual convocation a reviving shot of adrenaline."

John Hogland with Backstage Magazine describes Tim Sullivan as, "...one of those titan talents disguised as a good old boy."

Jon Weber

Jon Weber

Weber is a consummate post-bop musician with a lithe technical ability and an ear for complex harmonic compositions.

Largely self-taught, Weber displayed a knack for reinterpreting melodies early on and by age 3 could often have been found playing children's tunes on a toy organ. By his teens, he was attempting his own compositions and performing regularly with his jazz quintet occasionally opening for such big names as Freddie Hubbard and Stanley Turrentine. Around age 16, Weber began playing guitar and taught himself counterpoint, a skill that eventually garnered him experience arranging for various local ensembles including the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra. Weber's post-high school years found him attending Wisconsin University and eventually settling in Chicago in the late-'80s. Since that time he has performed and recorded with a wide array of jazz artists.

He released his debut album, Jazz Wagon in 1993 and the follow-up, Simple Complex in 2004. Showcasing an all-star group of jazz associates including trumpeter Roy Hargrove, tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander and vibraphonist Gary Burton, Simple Complex features compositions Weber began in high school and rediscovered years later.

Now based in New York City, Weber travels extensively as a soloist and as a highly sought music director for top jazz and cabaret performers.
