I heard Michael Kaeshammer in Ontario last year and immediately bought this album. He plays stride piano so fast his hands are a blur, and his singing is reminiscent of a young Harry Conniff. This fresh, bluesy album stands up to repeated listening and heralds the debut of a wonderfully-talented German-born artist who calls Vancouver home.

This will be brief... I first heard Fish Today, But Chitlins Next Week in my car on a perfect august night, and I had one of those experiences that can't and shouldn't be described. Just buy the CD... it doesn't try to reinvent the combo by any means, it simply does it so well... so fresh... its Fun!! Buy it on a whim and eat it up... its mmm mmm GOOOOOOD.

Listening to our local jazz station (KMHD) in the Portland area, I heard Kaeshammer's West Broadway from the No strings attached CD and was sold. Full sound and a toe tapping beat, my son and I lingered through several more selections until we heard who this great musician was. A name I won't forget.

What a talented guy! I look forward to hearing Kaeshammer's future recordings.
