Michel is one of the gods of jazz, is one of the gods of the piano. And extremely modest man. See how it says a lot about 45 seconds after completing the game. How to respond to applause. Not wallows in them, only modestly thanks. Then he talks to children. Such a small - and so big. A brilliant pianist. Rest in peace, Michel.
@@manuelfrn I know a lot about classical music and not much about jazz but I think the tune was composed by Duke Ellington. Great how Petruciani makes it his own! The original makes me less nervous though.
@@ecstrema Yep, just ask his entourage. I share the same health problem, my mother knew him a bit. Geniuses ain't often easy on a social scale. I mean, break your fingers once and go play like that anyway. They can't fathom his true self.
4:04 By Martin Chilton - Published on December 28, 2021 “My biggest inspiration is Duke Ellington, because in my very early age he gave the inspiration to play the piano,” said Petrucciani. He was particularly proud of his 1992 album Promenade With Duke, on which the Frenchman honored the music Ellington composed and played; his seven-minute version of “Caravan” explores every nuance of the 1936 hit Ellington wrote with trombonist Juan Tizol.

L'imperfection apparente cache en réalité la perfection divine... Bravo Michel ! Ton talent incomparable révèle en nous notre propre faiblesse et doit changer notre regard sur toute forme d'handicap...
et faut pas tomber dans lautre extrem ou "les autist sont surdouer" et cree une pression inutile et supplementaire au talent divin, faut pas non plus honorer les maladie t lalcholism, car certain artist de talent sont malade ou alcholique
On n’écoute pas Petruchiani à cause de son handicap, mais pour son seul talent ! Lui-même n’aurait pas aimé être confiné dans un rôle de freaks ! Didier
love how he tells those kids off for talking during his performance lol. he also knows that what he just played transcended all normal boundaries and was something truly legendary
Bon sang ! Tu ne connaissais pas Michel ! Notre Michel !!!! Quand j’ai un coup de mou, il fait parti de la playlist qui me redonne la joie et la confiance.
I think it's amazing to see how impatient he was to get back to playing. For him it was not about being adored, it was all about playing. He wasn't exactly an humble person. He was entirely aware of his own greatness, and being recognized actually was important for him. But music was more important than that. More than anything.
It’s always fascinated me how brilliance shows up on people like an actual aura and makes them gorgeous and graceful no matter anything else. This man could just as easily be a beautiful dancer to my eyes.
I'm speechless..no words to describe the talent and ingenuity of Petrucciani. His music is so complete.He doesn't even need a band. Thanks for posting!
I just discovered this pianist this week and this strange thought creeps in provoked by his performances, I keep asking myself "Who the heck is this guy?" and I just can't come up with an answer. Each song he plays he's like a different person in each one. He takes a song and does whatever he wants with it.
I remember the first time I saw him was on TV at a Welsh jazz festival. I was surfing around the channels and kept coming back to Michel playing 'Looking Up'. i was mesmerized. Now I have quite a few of his CDs, and the one he did with Eddy Louiss. Fantastic stuff ! Huge thanks and RIP to Michel !
Comment peut-on ne pas aimer ce génie? Cet homme mort si jeune de la terrible maladie des os de verre et qui sublima sa musique d'une manière tellement admirable.
Let's not forget Art Tatum. He was a god to many if not all respectable jazz pianists. Even Stravinsky and Rachmaninoff were bowled over by his technical and improvisational skills.
Michel Petrucciani tu a été un monument dans le monde musical des pianistes de jazz, comme légende tes oeuvres restent et nous consolent merci pour tout, repose en paix.
Exceptionnel..émouvant un grand bravo à Michel Petrucciani que nous avons eu l'honneur de voir en concert, je dirais qu'il était géant par son talent cet artiste nous manque beaucoup !!!
The reference to the little body is one of feeling totally overwhelmed by us normal untalented ordinary folks, overwhelmed, humbled and reverent when we are faced with such a passionate genius , body and wonderful soul!
Roman Adar the thing is: when I first saw him I was like: “ohh year he’s gonna be goood”, because I kinda expected him to really feel the music. And I wasn’t disappointed a bit!
Unglaubliche Interpretation und Weiterentwicklung eines Meisterwerks. Größtes Kompliment an Sie als ein die an sich schon gewaltige Musik (Ellington!) weiter entwickelnder Pianist. Wo auch immer Sie sein mögen, diese Erde haben Sie über lange Zeit und unglaublich bereichert.
Je ne le connaissais pas il y a quelques mois et je regrette tellement il était tellement doué ! Un virtuose du jazz et il était français !!!! Il est partie il y a 20 ans mais il existe toujours encore aujourd'hui ! Repose en paix Michel et merci pour tout :')
WOW!! Amazing! God Bless you, Michel. An entire life dedicated to his art, to the music, to the jazz. This is the real meaning of the word LOVE. He made the world happier. Thanks, Michel Petrucciani. RIP
My GOODNESS! He is SOOOO good! It just feels GREAT and he so smooth. He was a GREAT force and is truly missed. Thanks so much for posting this G! Respect, IZ
