"New Standards for the Green Lady" is the third album length release by the Kansas City based organ jazz group OJT. While previous releases featured jazz standards and original compositions, New Standards for the Green Lady is a collection of OJT's organ jazz arrangements of familiar pop songs. Selected, arranged, and performed over 2 years for audiences at Kansas City's Green Lady Lounge, OJT plays the music of Steely Dan, The Beatles, Tears for Fears, Eric Clapton, Michael Jackson, The Grateful Dead, and even Katy Perry. OJT continues its Wednesday and Saturday night house band gigs at Green Lady Lounge with no end in sight.

OJT builds on the classic organ jazz trio by mixing old school Kansas City jazz with blues and a modern funky groove. Ken Lovern on Hammond organ, Kevin Frazee on drums, and Brian Baggett on guitar play equal parts in balanced arrangements with stand out improvisations. OJT has been a band for more than 12 years and it shows.

OJT is:
Brian Baggett: Guitar
Kevin Frazee: Drums
Ken Lovern: Hammond Organ
