Please give a listen to my new composition, “Tabasco,” in its debut performance by the Loyola University Maryland Jazz Combo on Dec. 2, 2025. I named it in honor of my father, who had the habit of sprinkling a generous amount of Tabasco sauce on his food. The sauce is pretty hot: I hope you think the tune is just as hot. And while you’re on YouTube why not check out the other tunes on my playlist, “Mark Osteen’s Works?”
