“Angels’ Tears” to Dan Minster’s words and started a Jazz trio. Rechter is a
gifted composer and musician, who’s characterized with his simple manor
and his deep, interesting concerts, attracting both young and old audience..

keyboard player, and after his release joined “Kaveret” band. In 1978 he co-

they are written.

Jerusalem.
