Dale Dixon Oehler (October 1, 1941 – November 5, 2018) was an American arranger, producer and pianist.
Oehler's work fuses various elements to enhance several genre of music he worked on, including jazz, pop, country, R&B or easy listening. His credits include artists such as Marvin Gaye, Freddie Hubbard, Joni Mitchell and Andre Kostelanetz. Leonard Feather once described Oehler, in his Los Angeles Times jazz column, as "an adaptable writer".[1]
