Sweney, Campbell and Glazer Benefit Concert at Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame

Back in August, when singers Pam Van Dyke and Annie Ellicott spearheaded their big Jazz Depot fundraiser with a concert full of top Tulsa-area acts, vocalists Jim Sweney and Chris Campbell and pianist-vocalist Jon Glazer were all booked elsewhere.

So they've decided to do their own benefit show this Sunday, with all proceeds going to the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame.

"Working with Jon Glazer is always a pleasure, and we're grateful for the support that we receive from all our musicians," says Jason McIntosh, Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame CEO. "We work hard every day to foster creativity and build the type of institution where musicians come first."...

Back in August, when singers Pam Van Dyke and Annie Ellicott spearheaded their big Jazz Depot fundraiser with a concert full of top Tulsa-area acts, vocalists Jim Sweney and Chris Campbell and pianist-vocalist Jon Glazer were all booked elsewhere.

So they've decided to do their own benefit show this Sunday, with all proceeds going to the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame.

"Working with Jon Glazer is always a pleasure, and we're grateful for the support that we receive from all our musicians," says Jason McIntosh, Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame CEO. "We work hard every day to foster creativity and build the type of institution where musicians come first."

"We were trying the other day to count how many times we've played for the Jazz Hall," says Glazer. "We were playing there before they left the Greenwood Cultural Center [in 2007], and we usually do one show a year, so I'm thinking we've done at least seven or eight shows."

This one, he says, will be a little bit different.

"The last few times, we've had a rhythm section, but for this one, we're just doing it with the three of us. There won't be any electronic keyboards, either. I'm going to play the grand [piano] all night.

Tickets can be purchased at the Depot, from www.jazzhalltickets.com, or by calling 918-928-JAZZ. General admission is $15, reserved table seating $20. Seniors and Jazz Hall members are admitted for $10, and high school and junior high students for $5.

The show is the first entry in the Jazz Hall's 2014-2015 Winter Concert Series.
