I have known Keter for approximately 50 years, and had the privilege to sing with him during some of those years. I remember when he first began playing in the DC area--even before Dinah. He was a real inspiration to me during my conversion from the classics to jazz. He was a real GIANT, and will be SORELY missed. My sincere condolences to his family.

Dear Family & Friends,
May you have the peace and comforting love of God that excels all thought as you reflect on the loving kindness and musical talent of Keter. His musical genius and heart felt love for music and people have been made manifest, by how he lived his life. As you ponder on these things, may they bring a smile to your face and joy to your heart. Keter was truly a beautiful butterfly. Agape

Though we've been privileged to be in a musical invironment with Keter several times,"Mr. C" & I didn't have the pleasure of performing together with him! Knowing his masterful attributes, I feel that is our loss! Dedicated musicians are born with a mission of sharing, ministering, and healing through music...Keter did that PERSONIFIED!It is my belief that, when this mission has been accomplished, The CREATOR, who commissioned us with that unique talent, will in essence say..."WELL DONE &...
