The son of Joseph Lanzalotti, and Mary Magdelene Sylvano, his surname transitioned from his father's to his mother's with the name Sullivan also used briefly in the midst of the transitions. In the 1920 US Census he is listed as a railroad laborer but by the 1930 Census he is married to Lenore with daughters Jean and Joan. Brother Scotty is also living with them. His occupation is listed a singer with an orchestra. He was a well known jazz vocalist in his day and the band's recordings are still in demand.
"The Isham Jones band made a series of popular gramophone records for Brunswick throughout the 1920s. He led one of the most popular dance bands in the 1920s and 1930s....From 1929 to 1932, his Brunswick recordings became even more sophisticated with often very unusual arrangements (by Gordon Jenkins and others; Jones was his own arranger early on, but cultivated others for offbeat arrangements). During this period, Jones started featuring violinist Eddie Stone as one of his regular vocalists. ... His other vocalists included Frank Sylvano, Billy Scott, Arthur Jarrett and Stone."

I can find no records of his life during or after World War II.
