He leads the B.D. Lenz Quartet and has released albums on labels such as Jazzline Records.

Jazzkeller Frankfurt is a long-standing jazz club with a significant history within the German jazz scene. Founded in 1952, it initially operated as a cellar venue – hence the name “Jazzkeller” meaning “Jazz Cellar” – and quickly became a vital hub for both international and domestic jazz musicians during the post-war period. Over the decades, it has hosted numerous prominent figures in jazz, including Art Blakey, Dexter Gordon, and Sarah Vaughan.

The club relocated in 1996 to a more spacious location but maintains its commitment to presenting high-quality live jazz performances. It continues to be recognized as one of Germany’s most important jazz venues, fostering both established artists and emerging talent. The venue's intimate atmosphere remains a key characteristic despite the larger space.
