about
SHESHET is considered one of the most important Israeli progressive rock bands in history and one of the top groups during the mid-phase of the classic 70s. 1977 was, more precisely, the year when a group of six important musicians, led essentially by SHEM-TOV LEVI, made the one-shot called, just like the band, Sheshet. Ultimately though, the way the band was founded, its connections inside the Israeli scene, plus the ideals that the founder and much of the group shared strongly, all these things ensure, in one way, SHESHET's affiliation to the entire Prog Rock register from Israel. Once you take a deep breath and plunge into this country's progressive incredible history, SHESHET can hardly be forgotten, among early and mid-70s names such as ASHQELON QUILT, DANNY BEN ISRAEL, ZINGALE, ATMOSPHERE and such. Shem-Tov Levi, mildly the same way, can be placed along SHLOMO GRONICH and other minds, the two having even collaborated, founding the equally important and beautiful experience KTZAT ACHERET, about two years before SHESHET's arch. It is conventional to say that SHESHET started off after Shem-Tov Levi finished recording his own solo debut (and the year of that was 1976). YEHUDITH (Judith) RAVITZ is noted, sometimes, as founder of SHESHET as well. Essentially, what Levi did was to summon some of the best musicians of that time, writing meanwhile the music. Thus, SHESHET also included in the end Schmulik Aroch (bass, percussion and vocals), Shmulik Budagov (guitars and vocals)
