B.D. Lenz is a guitarist, composer, and producer based in northern New Jersey. The New York Times has noted that "part of the reason for his accessibility is that he not only fuses jazz and rock, but he complements it with the warm chords of funk, soul, and rhythm and blues." He has released more than a dozen albums as a leader featuring some of jazz's biggest names, has played in nearly every kind of band imaginable, and has produced recordings for both emerging and established musicians across many genres.

A seasoned performer with an international following, Lenz's music has appeared in hundreds of television and film placements worldwide, including Breaking Bad, Young Sheldon, Catfish, and Chicago Fire. He tours extensively throughout the United States, Europe, and the UK as a solo artist, sideman, and with his long-running trio. When not on the road, he can usually be found composing for Gramoscope Music or writing about the music business as a columnist for AllAboutJazz.com.
