Review: master pianist Kaeshammer’s latest disc gleams with polish. With 10 tracks of varied tempo, fresh lyrics, and a harkening back to the classicism of old-school jazz and blues, this will snag the hearts of even those who claim they’re not fans of the genres. They encompass stories of politics, travel, love, and the ups-and-downs of life, and feature collaborative Canadian talents.
