Lenny Sendersky is from St.Petersburg, Russia. There he completed his formal musical training, college education and gained his experience as a visionary, performer and producer. In order to launch his international career, Lenny chose to invest a couple years into living, working and developing his craft in Denmark. In 2011, Sendersky immigrated to Israel, gradually and confidently established himself in the jazz scene of his new home by performing and successfully producing projects featuring Israeli, American and European jazz artists.

"There's a strong sense of liberation that fuels Sendersky's alto/soprano sax playing on the record; it glimmers with life and personality,
free from any creative restraints". —All About Jazz
