JAM Michael Jackson funk-cello cover by Elias Kahila

Finnish cellist Elias Kahila plays funk-cello cover of Michael Jackson song "JAM", (please go buy the Michael Jackson album Dangerous incl. the original version of this song).

Inspired by The King Of Pop (R.I.P.), i developed a blues-shuffle based
bow technique for the cello (for the right hand; bow hand). I wanted to groove
with my cello, and my passion is to introduce groove cello to pop music.

I will be playing live in a Big Michael Jackson Tribute "EARTHSONG" in Sweden in August 29th.
The show (including many scandinavian pop stars) will take place in Stockholm (more info to come).

I am looking for labels & music business people (to record a full-lenght Michael Jackson Cello Tribute
album including MJ´s ballads, groove and rock songs with the cello, and tour), but i need your help: If you like my covers,
PLEASE spread the word and request it. Thank you, tack so mycke, buenos crazias!

About sheet music: I play everything by ear, so unfortunately i don´t have any notes or sheet music of the cello tracks to this song, or other songs.
I am teaching pop/jazz cello in Jyväskylä & Helsinki, Finland, and would love to do cello pop/jazz masterclasses outside Finland as well.
