Veteran radio personality and music editor Dubi Lentz has passed away at the age of 76. Lentz worked for Army Radio, served as a music critic and consultant, specializing mainly in jazz and world music. Radio broadcaster Yoav Kutner eulogized him in a Facebook post: "My friend and teacher Dubi Lentz passed away tonight, my heart is torn."
At an early age he befriended Rivka Michaeli, who was then presenting a lunch program on Reshet Bet, and at some point began editing the music on her program. In 1973, the position of music editor became available at Army Radio, and Lentz was hired immediately. Later he also served as head of the station's Muzia department. Among the programs he edited and presented: "Everything Flows", which was broadcast beginning in 1982 for over thirty years; Do Re Yomi, which he edited and broadcast with his friend Danny Karpel and Night Birds. Among other things, he edited the foreign and Hebrew song parades.
In 2014, Lentz joined the cast of the radio station 88FM and presented the jazz program "Not Just Jazz". In 2017 he returned to Army Radio and broadcast "This Voice of Jazz" there. At the same time, he also broadcast on Edge Radio. Beginning in 2011, Lentz served as artistic director of the Red Sea Winter Jazz Festival, and a year later, 2012, as artistic director, alongside Eli Degibri of the Red Sea Jazz Festival.
