An Evening with Michael Kaeshammer at Main Street Studios

KAESHAMMER (Alert Music/Universal), Michael Kaeshammer doesn't simply wow you with his chops; he invites you in and talks to you. Yes, he's a gifted singer and songwriter, a highly trained technician and interpreter and an incendiary piano player. But also, on stage and off, he's a consummate host. That joy is clear from the first note of KAESHAMMER, as is Kaeshammer's uncanny ability to take 'a bit of musical this' and 'a touch of musical that' and create a sound that is uniquely his own ? A singular brand of pop tinged jazz that owes as much to Billy Joel and Paul McCartney as to Professor Longhair and Albert Ammons on hook laden love songs like 'A Little Bit Of Love.
