14 Octaves is a band founded by Yoni Rechter (from Kaveret or Poogy-as called outside Israel-, the most popular band in Israel) who is a classically trained pianist with jazzy tendencies and rock pianist (also classically trained) Avner Kenner with the purpose of compose music based on their common love for British prog acts (mainly Gentle Giant and Yes). They later recruited drummer Eli Mohar (from psychedelic prog band Apocalypse) and a big crew of session musicians (including members of Kaveret and Schlomo Gronich from Ktzat Acheret) to record their first and only album "14 Octaves".
If you are interested I have some samples I could send.... The cover:

I have passed this suggestion along to the Jazz Rock/Fusion team. -------------

I listened to this a while ago, but didn't post my impressions. Based on the samples, I could not see this in Fusion or any Prog category.
------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me. |

That sounds like an opinion in the Jazz/Fusion thread as well. Not really progressive. -------------

If you want more samples I have... the thing with this album is that it covers lots of styles with short (3 min) tracks..... most of them show a very jazzy and bluesy side (+ some israeli pop and rock which are considered classics in the country....) ------------- Michael's Sonic Kaleidoscope Mondays 5:00pm EST(re-runs Thursdays 3:00pm) @ Delicious Agony Progressive Rock Radio(http://www.deliciousagony.com)

Hi. Here are the instructions for band submissions. You can probably send the tracks to the band submissions email according to their instructions below. They should then be able to forward them to the members of the Jazz rock team. Good luck!
You have two options for submitting a band/artist for the inclusion on this website
