Here below are a couple of jazz songs that I sing. I collaborate a lot with jazz lyricist legend Fran Landesman. She wrote lyrics that were performed by artists such as Ella Fitzgerald, Shirley Bassey, Chet Baker and many more.

This first song is the first jazz song I ever wrote, called 'I DON'T LOVE YOU (BUT MY HEART DOES)'.

I don't love you (but my heart does)

This next track is a lyric by Fran Landesman called Never Had The Blues At All. This is one of many songs that will be on The Simon Lawrence Jazz Band's album of her Fran Landesman songs.

Never had the blues at all
