He's also the catalyst behind the Boogie Woogie Piano Fest, now in its third year. It arrives at Quincy's on Seventh tonight. The four pianists perform solo sets, then they pair up, then the show ends with all four players performing at once on two grand pianos. Everybody onstage has very good ears and listens to everybody else very well. So there's eight hands, but it doesn't sound like eight hands are playing at the same time.
People just go crazy.
For his part, Kaeshammer is pretty jazzed about being on the road with Weber. What I really enjoy is that he actually respects me and loves playing with me. That's a great compliment.
