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.

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.

...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 - 11 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.

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!

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...

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

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 have a passion for Bossa Nova, and Ferryterry has treated us to a great little instrumental tune Bossa Nova tune titled Bossa Delight. When I heard it I immediately started humming a melody over it. This is a work in progress. I hope you enjoy it so far....Ferryterry (guitar) and Mario LG (drums).

ADDENDUM: I am slowly trying to do better with mixing my vocals. So, here is my SECOND attempt at mixing this tune better. FerryTerry will, of course, be handling the the real mix. ENJOY!
