German pianist Uli Lenz’s first US release on Arkadia Jazz, Rainmaker's Dance, is an event. Already internationally known, Uli is joined by American masters Ira Coleman on bass, Horacio “El Negro” Hernandez on drums, with Arkadia labelmate saxophonist T.K. Blue on several cuts. With a formidable command of the keyboard, composition and style, Uli represents the best of Jazz’s past, present and future—and is truly a pianist to watch.
