I don't know about Heinz current activities, but I have heard about him over 
there for several years and may have played on a Festival that he was on a few 
years back;

Here is another great Pianist that I am booking Internationally, that was an 
Earl Fatha Hines protegee' and Earl wanted to manage him but became ill and 
passed away .


G.F. Mlely  currently living in Hawaii.

I think you will like him as did John Farrell.  He is indeed a marvelous 
player, and his story is fascinating as well, a career interupted and renewed.  I 
expect some great things for him this year, concert wise.

Cheers,
