Woody Shaw's album, Rosewood, for which Onaje contributed as pianist , arranger and composer, won the Down Beat Reader's Poll for Jazz Group and for best jazz album in 1977, later nominated for a Grammy in 1978. In 1985, as the arranger and keyboardist for Stanley Jordan's version of “The Lady in My Life", it helped Stanley maintain the #1 spot on Billboard Magazine's jazz charts for more than 47 weeks.
In 2006, Remember Their Innocence earned Onaje an NAACP Image Award nomination in the Outstanding Jazz category.
