Description : I thought I'd share a track from my freshman CD titled, Sentimental. This tune turned out to be the most popular.

The entire project was recorded in one afternoorn analogically (the ol' skool way). It was done "live" which means no separate tracks. There was no rehearsal. What you hear is exactly what happened...no edits. In fact, I had not met any of the musicians (among the best session players in the country)prior to the session--except for the pianist, whom I met with briefly.

Enjoy!

VELVET, like I said. You Shure you didn't hang out with Sammy Davis or Johnny Mathis when you were a kid? It takes real vocal skills to perform Jazz vocals of this nature. After hearing this, your versatility is more understandable. I would love to hear you and Manuela on a Collab. Im glad I didn't miss this one. PEACE. T576 OUT.

Thank you Soooooo much for your comments and compliments. I soooooooo wish I could have hung out with Mathis and Davis!!! Sadly, that was not the case. :(. Anyways, I am happy you enjoyed the track. I'd jump at any opportunity to do a jazz collaboration with Manuela. It could happen! LOL.

LovePeace&Light,

Reminds me of when music actually used to be good. I'm a fan of Sade & Al Jerreau. This is every bit as enjoyable as their stuff.

Hey Mykael,

Thought I'd check out your jazz and found this little jewel. I doubt most here can appreciate this style, but us REAL musicians certainly can. You're the 'real deal' my friend. Wish we had more like you, here.

Cheers,

...WOW! what an absolutely perfect piece of vocal jazz! your voice reminds me of a male equivalent of etta jones. where can i buy your cd at?
Mykael
Mykael replied 28th Mar 2013 - 12 years ago
LOL....you are the first who has ever compared my voice to Etta James, but I'll take it!! LOL. The CD is available still at iTunes or Amazon, practically anywhere where digital music is sold. Just search "Leahcim" and "Sentimental" it should get you there. I hope you enjoy the rest as much as you enjoyed this one.

Love & Light,

Mykael

P.S. just in case you are confused. "Leahcim" is actually "Michael" spelled backwards. It's the name I used as a "stage" name. But I have since changed to another form of Michael, which is what I was called growing up -- "Mykael." And yes, I'm sticking with it. LOL

Man this is amazing bro. Great vocals, deeper than the surface lyrics. Love the emotion in your voice, reminds me of another time, a time I've never seen. You were able to paint a mental picture for me. I imagine an older jazz club, or restaurant of some sort, and I can see you singing with the band. It's all quite lovely really.

Mykael replied 19th Nov 2012 - 13 years ago
Hiya BK!

Thanks for taking the time to listen and the very flattering remarks. The tune is a very old standard recorded hundreds of times throughout the years. It is a great song for sure; the kind that will endure for generations to come.

Thanks again!

Jazzy in most of the aspects. It is made single handedly so please consider it an experimentation for the thrill of making music.

Description : "Oh no - not jazz metal! You're not supposed to mix those genres together." Yes, but someone's got to and the musical gods have chosen me for the difficult task. 9 mins of instrumental jazz metal - damn I sure know how to write a hit song - US No 1 here I come. Anyway - there's some dark, swinging groovy jazz, with Rhodes and guitar as the main instruments, for a few minutes and then some haunting, thumping evil breaks loose. Look out for the powerful synth horn sound. And then it just gets heavier and heavier before returning to some nice chillgroove funky mystery jazz. Instruments played and/or programmed: electric guitar, bass guitar, electric cello, multiple programmed acoustic drumkits, filtered strings, Rhodes, big synth bass, evil synth horn and a few other assorted synths. I assume this has too much jazz for metallers and too much metal for jazzers. So, only for weirdoes like me who enjoy both. This will surely be too odd for most people but I like to think it's pretty interesting and powerful. Let me know how its weirdness worked for you...
