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!

If you have time take a listen and give Mykael some feedback.
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.
First, I'd like to apologize for the HUGE delay in acknowledging your comment for which I am grateful! I'm happy to know you enjoyed the track. Thanks for stopping by.
Very cool layed back track, your vocals top notch once again, totally relaxing and enjoyable listen, looking forward to hearing more on your profile over next few weeks, fav'd, Peace Mosaic...
Apologies for my very delayed response to your comments. I did not receive any notice that your left one. I am very happy to know you enjoyed the track!
Well done Bro..you have a gift..I seen your Bio and you mentioned "Cicago Childrens Choir"..I seen the Queen Lahtifas new show and she had them on her show..Anyway, the man that runs is doin great things..for the kids.
He's been doin it for 30years..it was a great thing to watch. But you have great skills..keep doing what you love.
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.
well,when in a randomized search about Jazz you found a track from leachim,then easily you can be sure that you've found a new track for listening to & enjoy.dear Leachim,every thing about this track was supeb,perfect & admirable,and also for a man far from jazz like me,instructive.thanck you,best wishes & regards.___Behnam.
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.
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.
Description : I first discovered the iconic singer Ella Fitzgerald through my parents, my mother who was a renowned vocalist herself had a deep appreciation for the music of legendary artists. I was too young but captivated by the soulful jazz melodies that filled our home on lazy Sunday afternoons. "Summertime" Exudes a timeless touch of elegance it has a special place in my heart.

Instruments Used:
-"WELTMEISTER" upright piano (MADE IN GERMANY in 1938)
-"KAY" upright bass (MADE IN GERMANY somwhere in 1950th)
-TAMA Imperial Star + Pearl OMAR HAKIM snare + Various Ziljian cymbals.
I just put together some old ideas to see if it will work. Some vocals and brass, or guitars is clearly needed. Let me know what you think about it. Tnx
Description : Do not freak out just because this is jazz! There's also blues, rock, funk and a little hip hop in it to break up the deep, chillout jazz sections - gets particularly rocking then funky at the end. Main bassline (the track's foundation) is recycled leftover slide resonator guitar parts detuned one octave to make a slide bass sound. Also features: piano, violin, hammered dulcimer, organ, ethereal pad guitar, bass guitar, jazz/blues/rock electric guitar and multiple programmed acoustic drumkits. This was difficult to make at times as I thought I needed more leads parts eg from sax or trumpet. But I'm happyish with the end result. I expect very little interest in this as it's both jazz and long jazz. But it's also an unusual type of genre-mixing jazz. So, leave your thoughts, good or bad, if you like...
Description : This is track me and my friend (great jazz, blues musician) done
around this great vocal we acquired.
Lot of hours in it.
I had great fun making it!
Hope you people like it.
Love and peace.
Description : I think it's a late evening song to accompany you for a single drink.
Jazzy in most of the aspects. It is made single handedly so please consider it an experimentation for the thrill of making music.
Hope you will like it.
Description : This track made me just stop working on it and listen to it for enjoyment.
Smooth Mellow funky Jazz. Uses: 0111003-djrumplestiltskin-swung-funk-drum-beat, 0087009-mrroads442-guitar-line, 0072485-michiel555-mellow-funk, 0058934-ferryterry-90-bpm-soprano-sax. Is this Funk or Jazz?
Description : This track contains only free loops from Stayonbeat.com and several loops from Looperman artists (listed below). I "made a promise" that my next track will be use a lot of jazzy loops - well, i done with this track, for the great sadness of jazz lovers or experts i think - i fear they will never forgive me. :) While my ISP launches my internet out of the Earth system for a long time, i had to face the fact that i dont have too much downloaded jazz loops on my computer, so i think no wonder that this one is sounds like if i smoke some marihuana while making it. But hey, who cares, i like the result - it reminds me the (maybe only) really funny episode of "Breaking Bad", where Pinkman uses some heroin and flyes up with an idiotic smile on his face - that chapter is priceless. :D
I dont think this one needs a vocal, but ofcourse you can use it if you want, and as always, just write and i will give any support as i can. Any feedback welcomed too as always. Enjoy! UPDATE 2015.10.24.: improved audio quality - lower lows, higher highs. Now in 256kbps!

Description : I created a hip hop groove in Logic and decided to duel some Saxophones. I am playing the Baritone sax on the left pan and the Tenor Sax on the right pan.
I added some bells like a boxing match bell to give it a fight drama feel. The hip hop track itself is dope to me. The duel is cool too. Who won?
Description : Something a bit different from us. I (Bobo) played guitar, synth, midi bass and percs to this piano loop by LM's most excellent Rasputin. Wataya, stoned as usual, thought he heard Barbara Streisand singing. This is the result.
