As a solo artist Leonhart has released six albums. He has composed and performed music for movies, television, dance, fashion shows and theater, and has appeared on over 100 albums.
Michael has performed with Steely Dan since 1996, recording two albums with them, including 2000's Grammy winning Album of the Year Two Against Nature on which he was a featured soloist, arranger and conductor. Over his career he has performed and/or recorded with such diverse artists as A Tribe Called Quest, Arif Mardin, Arto Linsday, Bill Frisell, Bill Withers, Bobby McFerrin, Bonnie Raitt, Brian Eno, Busta Rhymes, Caetano Veloso, D.J.

Most recently, Michael recorded with Yoko Ono as a featured member of The Plastic Ono Band for her upcoming album, Between My Head and the Sky.Michael also appears on upcoming albums by Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, Foreigner, Sean Lennon, and Yuka Honda (Cibo Matto).
Michael performed with the rock band Phish at their Halloween Night concert in 2010 at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, NJ, as part of a backing horn section for the Vermont band's rendition of Little Feat's Waiting for Columbus double album.

A remarkably advanced debut from the then 21-year-old trumpeter. Joined by tenor saxophonist Ari Ambrose, bassist Joe Martin, and drummer John Wilson, Leonhart tends toward a spacious, enigmatic sound on this all-original outing. The first three tracks are fairly cryptic, with Leonhart and Ambrose playing long-tone melodies over subtly implied rhythms and ambiguous harmonies or pedal points. Track four, "Dear Bourg," is the first piece with an unmistakable harmonic structure and a songlike melody. The same can be said for the ethereal ballad "Sketches of Aix," the jazz waltz "Belle Jeza" (just melody, no solos), and the slow, minor-key 6/8 shuffle "Shamed." Elsewhere, on tunes such as "Posscia" and "Naashar," Leonhart takes his quartet through freer territory. Ambrose, with his robust, post-Coltrane tenor style, is a dynamic frontline partner for Leonhart, who also sounds quite strong on his horn. Martin and Wilson throw in just the right atmospheric touches, aside from being an unassailable rhythm team. As both a trumpeter and composer, Leonhart is the farthest thing from a neo-bop conformist. But neither is he an undisciplined maverick with no foundation or interest in the tradition. Indeed, what makes Aardvark Poses remarkable is Leonhart's precocious ability to make music this bold and individual within a standard quartet format.
