I had the chance to serve him a few times in a hotel next to the Olympia in Paris, beginning of the 90’s. What a friendly guy, funny, always smiling and joking. Great person and musician. RIP.
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.

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
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
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!
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.
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 !
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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 !!!
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
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.
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 :')
Round Midnight came up in my feed and I didn't feel like crying, so I skipped that one and searched a random song I'd never heard him play... not a particularly emotional or sentimental song and this song freaking slayed me ... I can barely pull myself together .. such clarity and talent and humility... what a powerful presence.
I was lucky to attend on his concert
I had the chance to serve him a few times in a hotel next to the Olympia in Paris, beginning of the 90’s. What a friendly guy, funny, always smiling and joking. Great person and musician. RIP.
thats funny, it's usualy the other way around

Much better that those pianists that play Bach and behave like they did invented Bach's music. Respect!
he was far from modest. It removes nothing from his incredible musicality and talent.

This is the first time I have ever herd of Petrucciani what a treat and joy to listen to his wonderful playing. Thanks Chris
He was called the Avatar of the Piano when he landed in California when he was around 20y old. Glass bones disease, heavy form.
He was In the Zone!!!!

One of the best renditions of caravan I ever heard. ❤️

He's incredible.
0:36 The transition from Latin to swing is phenomenal
I my opinion he turned to Johann Sebastian Bach. Egal. Great interpretation of a masterpiece.
@@winterstei Just your ear, No Harpsichord
Ou que tu sois, ta musique vibre encore et nous apporte du bonheur et de la sérénité.
Merci monsieur.
I have never in my life heard anything like this before. He is great!!!!!!!!!!!!
My friend, Michel is the GOAT of the piano.

Du haut de son nuage, Michel te remercie pour "l'imperfection apparente".
C’était un pianiste hors normes !!!! Certains disent qu’il avait un métronome comme 5 eme sens !!
What a talent ! Wow
such an angel...
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!
NON il n' y a pas de mots !
Such a mesmerizing performance captivates and delights!!! Bravo, MAESTRO Michel Petrucciani !!!
That minute when he grabs the piano drawer with his left hand to offer us with his right one the most intimate moment of the piece!!!
So much joy in his phrasing, can't help but smile. What a genius!
This guy's playing is absolute magic!!!
This is my first encounter with this wonderful player! Fantastic listening!
Wow !!! Je ne connaissais pas ce musicien. Il est incroyable. Quel talent !
Bon sang ! Tu ne connaissais pas Michel ! Notre Michel !!!!

Mamma mia !! cosa dire.... un mostro sacro della musica! Grazie Michel
Monstro
Absollutely fantastic!!
ce singulier petit homme restera à jamais dans nos mémoires!

Each song he plays he's like a different person in each one. He takes a song and does whatever he wants with it.
What a talent. First time hearing him play.
He does a version of "round midnight" you can find on youtube. One of the finest performances I have ever heard
He fucking rips
Thanks youtube, never heard of Michel or this song before right now. Really dig 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 !
❤ Маэстро! Вас ждут чистейшие и яркие сферы, такие же, как ваша великолепная МУЗЫКА!
One of the best instrumental performances I ever heard. It´s just brilliant.
Köszönöm ezt a különlegességet. Ilyet nemcsak hogy nem hallottam,de még elképzelni sem tudtam. 👍
quel génie. Tu nous manques Michel
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!
Like many others in the comments, I have never heard of this man before. What an amazing talent!
That was just perfect
InstaBlaster...
I heard a wrong note
I love watching and listening to this extraordinary man play.
Holy shit... he blew me away.
I've been listening to him for 20 years and I am still blown away.
What a bloody genius he was... incredible!
what is he dead? Why is everyone dead? There's Monk, Ruben Gonzalez and there's this guy that's the trinity
I keep coming back to listen to more Michel. he maintains a magic that brings me back.
Yes, I too feel a need to come back to refresh with the magic he spins.
Yes!
Ditto!!!
This is just perfect. Never listened to a solo piano better version of Caravan!
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.
Wow. Just wow.
Tout ce que j'aime : la différence, la qualité, la maîtrise, un vrai régal !!!
El gran maestro Petrucciani realmente vuela muy alto con esta majestuosa e inolvidable versión de Caravan.
This performance is just as fresh today as it was 8 months ago!
Michel Petrucciani-il corpo e l'anima-un genio del jazz....
quel grand mec,bref un génie. merci Michel
Un musicista così meritava di vivere per sempre. Purtroppo sappiamo che non è possibile, ma io lo ascolterò comunque per sempre.
Paolo Motteran wow
quindi tu vivrai per sempre?
Sacred Geometry Music 🤣🤣🤣🤣

He was the genius of jazz music , my favourite jazz pianist
Amazing. I remember when I was a child but I had forgotten all about this lovely music. So sad to know he's gone
this is the 3rd version of Caravan I ve listened to today - Tatum, Monk and now Petrucciani - they are all so different, but I love ´em all.
amazing , I failed to appreciate his presence when he was around , but hes one of my favorite players now.
Genial, never underestimate a person based on their look. Thanks for sharing.
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!
is he sitting on a Chinese phone book
Why would you underestimate such... hideous.. talent
I never do
Its quite a lot to grasp
Amazing. Genius. So sad we lost such a unique talent.
he takes jazz piano to some serious new heights!!
Very beautiful playing!
Много раз слушал "Караван" в его исполнении и каждый раз восхищаюсь и наслаждаюсь. Спасибо, Мишель. Тебя нам очень не хватает. Браво МАЭСТРО 👏👏👏
talking and saying! 5:23
A complete monster musician and a wonderful man. RIP
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.
Non il est mort suite à une pneumonie puis d'un arrêt cardiaque il me semble
What an amazing rendition!.. You don't have to close your eyes to appreciate it
master of jazz... i love the sound of michel !! amazing
Very grateful to have to have heard him "live" at the Showcase in Chicago. Unforgettable!
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 !!!
I like how he backhandedly tells those kids to shut up while he's playing.
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
Quel talent, quelle histoire se sa vie ! Vous êtes magnifique, Monsieur !
He dead
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
One of the finest we had the luck to hear
GIGANTE INTERPRETACIÓN !!!!!!!!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
J'ai eu la chance de l'écouter jouer Caravan à Lille au théâtre Sebastopol dans les années 90. Souvenir inoubliable ! Prodigieux !
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.
Time! I don't think I have ever heard anyone keep time like this man. Amazing.
My, can he play.❤️❤️❤️...I have not heard "Caravan" for quite a few years.......thank you so much for sharing.
A tremendous man who lived an amazing life.
They keep clapping and he is like "no big deal"
Amazing. This man is incredible.
First time hearing this guy, it's simply amazing. Those kids at the end... They were just stunned...
Assolutamente un genio musicale..
un animale, letteralmente. che bestia, manca tanto.
Biggest man I've seen in a long time. Such power and grace.
Да уж)Надо-же так гениально и разнообразно сыграть эту вещь и с такой скоростью и одному,кайф))
Это точно:)
Wow! Once in a lifetime a genius like this. Mille Grazie. Maestro!
A Genius! Thanks Michel
Michele Petrucciani Persona straordinaria. E andato via troppo presto. sono 10 anni che è morto i migliori Dio li prende.
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 :')
Petrucciani was a true original...great style and drive as always....he is sadly missed
Well, I just had a little bit of an awakening.
Most Excellent!
Round Midnight came up in my feed and I didn't feel like crying, so I skipped that one and searched a random song I'd never heard him play... not a particularly emotional or sentimental song and this song freaking slayed me ... I can barely pull myself together .. such clarity and talent and humility... what a powerful presence.
What a genius! "hi kids, how are you? ..." ! Such a good man!
Thx Michel you’re DIVINE miracle!!
One more evidence o’ God’s existence .!!
Certainly mankind CANNOT achieve such results.. with own means !!
More jazz in one hand than most pros have in both.
This man’s time is indomitable
wow...first time for me...Bravo ....incredible talent and force....Observer Jules
Truly one of the greatest , sorely missed
During this pandemic I felt a need to listen to this genius again - I'm glad I found him.
He was a genius and great phenomena in jazz music.god bless him 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘❤❤
è bellissimo il movimento delle mani è pura magia sembra che vadino da sole come un corpo estraneo..fantastico !
il y a des tours et des immeubles de plus de 200 m de hauteur et là il y a 1 m de virtuosité bravo Mr PETRUCCINI et que les anges vous accompagnent
quel talent! un grand pianiste !
Quel talent.👍
Que maravilla de sonido, se te extraña Michel
