Michael Kaeshammer
Jazz is an art form that has a history of occasionally spawning pop stars. Think of Louis Armstrong and Nat King Cole, and more recently, Diana Krall and Harry Connick Jr. Young jazz star Michael Kaeshammer is on a path to enjoy such exalted popular status with the release of his latest album, Days Like These.
Classically trained in Germany before falling in love with boogie woogie piano, Kaeshammer has released four previous CDs of blues and jazz. 2003’s Strut featured Michael’s studio debut as a breathy, jazz vocalist. Michael’s earlier recordings laid the groundwork for Days Like These, a surprise–filled marriage of wide-ranging jazz forms and Michael's other musical passions; country, blues, funk, reggae, and myriad pop influences. It's a brilliant and original jazz meets pop musical gumbo!
