American guitarist and songwriter from the New York region.
He is first credited as guitarist of New York rock band King Harvest. King Harvest were formed in 1969 in Ithaca, New York.
Before recording their first album I can tell in fall 1971, they moved from America to Paris, France. The guitar part on that album is credited to guitarist Michael McEwan, means, he went with the band to Paris.
Eventually, he releases his first solo single in 1972 with French producer Philippe Rault. The record was recorded and mixed in London at the Olympic sound studios by Keith Grant and primarily released in France by Barclay. Also King Harvest made a tour in France and UK that year, so London is on the track of the band.
In 1973, a song by Michael McEwan was released on a single by King Harvest. While the band returned to America in the beginning of that year, obviously Michael McEwan stayed in Paris.
In 1974, he releases his second solo single on musidisc label, the label which also had a contract with King Harvest. McEwan stays in France, his producer produces a new band, which also came from New York, the Lafayette Afro Rock Band.
Michael McEwan is first credited on their classic album Soul Makossa. The recording is done in 1973, Jaubert is credited as music director. McEwan is responsible as author of some further classics of that band, Hihache and the most successful song Darkest Light, which was sampled frequently by Hip-Hop and RnB artists.
