"Dance" is a delightful album that defies easy categorization. It is interesting that she and Mike are able to maintain such distinct musical personalities after decades of marriage. They sound nothing like each other at all.

Love Leni's 1st record with Bill Frisell and Paul Motian.

Love Leni's 1st record with Bill Frisell and Paul Motian.

She and Bill were close pals in college.

I like her Munich accent

Leni is a great person and has made some great music. I loved her first record with Bill Frisell and her work with Wayne Krantz.
