Search - Michael Kaeshammer :: Kaeshammer

Award winning Canadian musician Michael Kaeshammer's third album with Alert Music, is thrilled to release new music to his eagerly awaiting fans. KAESHAMMER is a high-energy pop fuelled jazz record by one of Canada's most promising artists. The album features contributions by R&B/soul songstress Divine Brown on the track Heartbeat and Canadian chanteuse Jill Barber on the ballad Shalimar Wind. Recorded at Toronto's Drive Shed and Keen Studios throughout the summer and autumn of 2010, KAESHAMMER blends the sounds of soul, jazz, R&B and pop that fans have come to expect from this piano prodigy. The song-writing process started last spring, working with Grammy Award winning and nominated songwriters in Nashville, writing new material like Shalimar Wind and Kisses in Zanzibar which inspired him to return and finish the process in a way that allows for some of his most memorable material to date; material that comes across with the same fire and integrity live as it does on record. Songs like Rendezvous, Tightrope and the intensely evocative take on Curtis Mayfield's People Get Ready set the tone of the album and exemplify Kaeshammer's incredible arrangement and prodigious piano skills. However, it is other standout tracks, including A Little Bit Of Love and The You-And-Me that truly showcase this fine musician as one of Canada's most compelling young singer-songwriters. KAESHAMMER, the recording, is exactly what the artist is; uniquely engaging and completely original.
