I had never heard of this young Canadian pianist until I took a chance and went to his live concert in Maine. What a terrific show! I immediately bought his first three albums (this is the second album)and recently I bought the fourth. All are good, though this and the third album, "No Strings Attached," are my favorites. Kaeshammer is a dynamic pianist, whether playing solo (the first album, "Blue Keys") or in a group. He plays with some fine side men. He loves to play boogie woogie style, but plays well in other jazz styles too. I like his lively renditions of classics on this album (e.g. Caravan, Sweet Georgia Brown, Basin Street Blues), but the newer numbers on his more recent albums are great too. This is fun music, and it will help you get into a good mood. It's some of my favorite cookin' and dishwashin' and cruisin' in the car music!

I just discovered the music of this exceptionally talented pianist. I have all 3 of his CDs in my changer and I bought a second copy for my car! I can hardly believe that someone can play the piano as fast and rollicking as he can. His music makes me laugh and can bring tears to my eyes, the sound is so beautiful. Your toes will tap and if you are driving, set the cruise!

I heard Michael last night at the Fitton Art Center in Hamilton Ohio. This kid is FANTASTIC, but you need to hear him. He is a first class entertainer and will wow everyone in the crowd regardless of age.
I could write for pages on Mikes music, or write a thesis on what it is like to hear "Yankee Doodle", hearing is believing. Check this kid out.

I have listened to this CD hundreds of times and never tire of it. Each song is different and played to perfection. If you like piano, you'll love this cd.
