Latest post: Tunes on Tuesday: Prelude to a Kiss

I was honored to receive the 2023 ASCAP Foundation Alan & Marilyn Bergman Lyric Award for my song “Let’s Wander”

Visit shop.ohljazz.com to find sheet music for my songs. I’m always happy to hear new interpretations of my tunes.

Check out “Island In The Sea” , the first single from my Groove Park project, released March 25!

Also from Groove Park: “Bend Don’t Break” celebrates the palm trees of the Caribbean with the sounds of St. Croix

“Don’t Sleep On Me” featuring Aaron Myers reminds us to believe in our own abilities

“Ain’t It The Truth” featuring Carolyn Malachi sends a message of hope for overcoming information pollution and information overload
