Lenny Sendersky was born July 22, 1982 in Leningrad and started saxophone at 11. He lived in Denmark around the turn of the millennium, returned to Russia, and immigrated to Israel in 2011, where he built a career as a composer, producer, and performer. His original compositions are now performed by international jazz musicians including Randy Brecker, Joe Locke, Carmen Souza, Slava Ganelin, and Amos Hoffman.

His leader catalog runs deep for a relatively recent arrival to the Israeli scene: Light Spirits of the Earth (2009), Extreme Points (2010), Desert Flower (2014, with Tony Romano, Steve LaSpina, and Matt Kane), Hotel Cinema (2016, a duo record with Slava Ganelin), and Intersection (2016).

His most distinctive project is Moon Strings, a string quintet pairing his saxophone with classical string players. Their debut, Blues Mizrahi, was recorded in Moscow and Israel and released across Europe in February 2020, synthesizing Middle Eastern folk and klezmer with modern jazz. Double bassist Ehud Ettun, already profiled on jazzprofiles.com, plays and takes bass solos on two tracks.

Sendersky's work spans conventional post-bop quartet writing (Desert Flower, Intersection) and a more chamber-oriented, cross-genre direction with Moon Strings, connecting jazz improvisation to classical string writing and Middle Eastern/klezmer dance rhythms.
