Description : Hello Folkses! I cannot believe I neglected to share a Christmas Single of mine that was released last year. It is my take on Nat King Cole's "Christmas Song," which was written by Mel Torme. The beautiful piano performance is by a very talented musician friend of mine, Emanuele Filippi.
Please head over to YouTube to check out the music video; and, add it to your Spotify Christmas Playlist: Just search for "The Official Mykael" and make sure you put an accent mark over the "e".

If you have time take a listen and give Mykael some feedback.
hi Mykael its been a while since you been around, lovely cover of a classic Christmas track, beautiful tender and sensitive delivery, a soft and warm tone , i pictured a snowy Christmas and you sat singing at a fine white piano, Merry Christmas bro
It is a very interesting way your way. I liked your voice and your sincere attempt for warmth and lyricism. I truly believe you did an excellent work here giving us the spirit of Christmas, like a present under the tree. The piano is so well played and in total the result gives us a very beautiful song.
My best wishes, Anthony.
As others before me have already said, your interpretation of this Christmas song is exceptionally beautiful. You have managed to intone this classic in such a way that it completely captivated me. This is partly due to the wonderful piano playing and, of course, your exceptionally good, empathetic voice.
I am one of those people who also enjoys listening to Christmas songs and classics. I believe they are traditional elements that give us a sense of warmth, security, and festivity. They have helped many people during bleak times to forget their existential fears, even if only briefly. For children, it was a special moment of attention, not just because of the gifts, but because the family came particularly close together on these days.
Unfortunately, much of this has been lost in modern times. Greed, kitsch, and many other things have also changed the Christmas season and unfortunately infiltrated the music. But your song shows that this special warmth can be felt again! Thank you!
Hello, Manuela! I truly appreciate your wonderful message. I wholeheartedly share your feelings about Christmas. Traditions play a vital role in our well-being as human beings. The more we stray from them, the more we seem to lose our way. I feel an immense sense of gratitude that this rendition of Nat King Cole's timeless classic has brought back the warmth and joy of Christmases gone by.
Hello Mykael,
I feel the same way as BaoBou... I'm not the biggest Christmas fan, but some songs evoke the right feelings in me, and this one is definitely one of them. And that's especially due to your beautiful intonation!
Thank you for that.
Cheers
Greetings, What a very lovely acoustic piece. And i do sense a lil bit the christmas spirit in here. But in the old school kinda feel of it. But i did really digged this song. The vocals were also interesting and pleasant to listen to and on point. So well done. Have a good one, Verdi
Dude! I am a certified xmas hater (especially xmas songs) but this is straight gold. From the first piano chords to your amazing voice... BRING IT ON!!
I'm so grateful that you enjoyed our take on a Christmas classic. It's definitely high praise since Christmas and Christmas songs aren't your scene. So, thank you very much!
Mykael! First off the section of the song you pulled into the entrance is PURE GENIUS! Next the Nat King Cole version always made me feel some type of way! Amazingly your version made me feel the same way! Thank you for that. Your vocals are so on point as always. I appreciate you sharing your talent my friend. Peace.
How's it going, Mark!? Thank you so much. It's pure happiness to know that our version of this classic touches you in the same way as Mr. Cole's does. That is very high praise, and greatly appreciated. Merry Christmas!
Oooh! Mykael,
WOWWWWW! you know I have always liked your voice and hearing this Christmas song by you which exudes so much class & charm is simply like fine crystal B*E*A*U*T*I*F*U*L indeed you took the song to another level. Great! Production. Bravo!
Merry Christmas to you in advance! This is such a beautiful piece that perfectly suits the season. I love the vocal styleits so Christmas-y. Overall, the mix is great too; very classic
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.

Description : Every instrument is performed and recorder live. Piano, double bass, drums.
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.
