Fourteen Octaves
Band,
Rock, Folk and World
Short lived experimental Israeli band (active 1974-75) which combined progressive rock, jazz, and fusion. The band's name was derived from the fact that the piano covers seven octaves of notes and there were two pianists in the group. Avner Kenner and Yoni Rechter had known each other in high school and had met again in 1974 at The Academy of Music in Tel Aviv. Rechter was a member of Kaveret at the time, and discovered that he had the same musical taste as Kenner. Producer Asher Bitansky managed to get them studio time (along with drummer Zohar Levi) even though he knew the resulting album would not be a commercial success. During 1974-75 the trio also played live and also toured with קצת אחרת (Ktzat Acheret a/k/a Nonames), another progressive rock band. In 2008 Kenner and Rechter did a joint concert in which their performed some of the Fourteen Octaves material. It was the first time the two had played together in over 30 years.
