He is in pain...but listeners would never know it when hearing his beautiful, masterful playing. His soloing is delightful. It's almost as if he is a part of the piano, the way he brings lovely music forth. He provides untold happiness to people all over the world. RIP Michel.
Il y a beaucoup de bons à très bons pianistes, mais Michel PETRUCCIANI, c'est un cocktail unique d'émotions, de force, de sensibilité, de finesse, de technique... RIP
Unbelievable harmonic freedom, honestly i have never heard a pianist doing such crazy harmonies and yet still be so on point with the melody. I cannot understand how you can improvise something so complex so easily. Its truly next level.
Ashamed to say I had never heard of him until 10 minutes ago. What an incredible guy and what a sad sad loss to die so young. Fabulous and very moving piano playing. Makes me very emotional.
You commented 10 yrs. ago; don't feel bad, I just heard of him 3 weeks ago. And just Now only- I learned that he has passed. I'm the one who's outta circ.
What i find truly impeccable is that his disease, osteogenesis imperfecta, actually causes him to be in constant pain. Yet he could play so gracefully and masterfully. This is what pure passion gives you.
I was just about to "How dare he?" as I had just listened to Duke Ellington's classic version. I quickly realized "How dare I?" He's magnificent. Thank you Mr. Petrucciani.
I was always serenaded by the works of Erik Satie and William Grant Still and other musicians alike.... but just then when I heard him play, I was connecting with a new side of music again. And yes it is a great immense feeling. Every composition I watch and hear him play, I fall in love with every chord progression and little notes he adds.. I feel blessed once again to have discovered something truly astounding. Thank you Michel for the good sound, I will forever remember this moment. Rest in paradise
Whow @ 3:41 he goes into galactic harmony heaven ! If you get a chance check out his documentary film.He's filled with the love of life, humor,and being a better musician and composer.He was a close friend of Charles Lloyd who's also in it.
pure genius.this man was a wonderful player up with the very best jazz players of all time.we are very lucky he visited us even for such a short time.may god bless him wherever he may be.nice upload many thanks.
Like Paul Morphy the chess genius , Michel Petrucciani came into our lives, and like a comet passing through , left us way too soon . :-( what a guy !!!!!
Ooh. This little man with big hands, and big hands and an even greater heart. Add an unique talent and musicality and that was Michel. A very very special person that have enriched so many of us. Extraordinary indeed!
I also am ashamed to say I had never heard of him until a stumbled at random on one of his vids a few minutes ago. I am totally amazed by his playing -and shocked I have not heard of him before. Very sad to find he died in 1999 a few days after his 36th birthday, he obviously had a lot more to give...
Who’s back getting blown away by this incredible performance in 2024? He’s moving between so many harmonic styles so deftly. He was telling a story with perfect structure that keeps you captivated and the 7 minutes flew by. He’s the perfect combination of musical talent, amazing taste and unbelievable technique.
Amazing recording of such an wonderful ballad...once beautifully recorded by the duke and coltrane and here , so different but so similar at the same time by petrucciani...arguable the best concert he ever gave, with the same passion he always used to put out there. Great musician, great music - rest in peace michael
Brilliant. Despite the medical problems, he soldiered on and left us beautiful music. In this overcrowded World of solo jazz piano , he stood out. Fantastic. RIP.
Had be been permitted a normal lifespan, I think we might be talking about MP today in the same breath with Ocar, Bill Evans, Chic, Keith Jarrett, etc. RIP Michel.
"I don't care if a mf'r has green skin and red breath if he can play" -M.Davis see also: above. Wow. God bless youTube and the age we live in that we can pull these performances up. I think I am just gonna sit and sip a glass. THANK YOU for posting!
Michel Petrucciani a un don d'artiste, c'est un génie qui mérite son succès, son courage et ses qualités me laisse sans voix, incroyable ! Merci boogieonlineat et RUclips :-)
This man just heard things on another level, and it came out to entertain us, never heard anyone go into the harmonic possibilities that he did without it sounding discordant.
increible ...se nota pasion ...el autor de esta pieza ( ellington) se debe sentir orgulloso de que michel ejecute una de sus creaciones mas bellas ...michel es increible y lo admirare por siempre ...
sorry, no comparisons are allowed, i know, but personally, i must say, that was the finest 7:07 i have ever heard. solo piano ballad/blues/re-harmonization/interpretation with feeling. please somebody give me a towel now so i can dry my eyes and my laptop.

Couldn't say it better. It's wonderful...
La grande bellezza in un corpo infelice...Vittoria dell'anima sulla materia..Immenso artista.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written, and Mr. Petrucciani's interpretation is honest and true. Wonderful. Glorious.
Unbelievable harmonic freedom, honestly i have never heard a pianist doing such crazy harmonies and yet still be so on point with the melody. I cannot understand how you can improvise something so complex so easily. Its truly next level.
it is magic or michelle had more than 1 brain
Or more than one heart.
Ya. Mical is too good. Next level?! You mean transcendent or hyper-evolved.
Nicholas Freed He was, unfortunately he past away. RIP best Jazzpiano player ever🙏
Like bill evans
Ashamed to say I had never heard of him until 10 minutes ago. What an incredible guy and what a sad sad loss to die so young. Fabulous and very moving piano playing. Makes me very emotional.
so young? he could have died at 1 sir.
Exactly. Where have I been all my life..Ian.
You commented 10 yrs. ago; don't feel bad, I just heard of him 3 weeks ago. And just Now only- I learned that he has passed. I'm the one who's outta circ.
@@harry2928 and I am 54 and a music lover and cannot believe I just did yesterday
Harry and Basek, there is a marvelous documentary on him. I think it's on RUclips.. Don't miss it.
Am I the only one not able to handle this level of pureness, growth, grace and beauty without melting inside?
I can listen to that forever, without getting bored. Because it's real. A real thing in a fake world.
well said!
What i find truly impeccable is that his disease, osteogenesis imperfecta, actually causes him to be in constant pain. Yet he could play so gracefully and masterfully. This is what pure passion gives you.
he was so great, the little giant
his body's small but his hands are huge. its like he was meant to be a pianist
But his feet can't reach down to the pedals. He made up his own playing style where no pedals are needed.
@@saxplayer57 He actually uses a lot of pedal here, thanks to the tool that his father designed for him
@@giacomocasartelli5503 I stand corrected. His father is a good man.
Everytime I watch one of Petrucciani's videos I get goose bumps. Little man with a enormous heart.
He is big man in a small body. A musical giant.
@Ri De He was like a strange yet very beautiful phenomenon.
He Was A Little Man Whit A Great Talent.
In French: "Il était Un homme Petit au Talent Grand".
One of the best jazz pianist ever !
So true! ❤️... I'm crying!... He was GENIUS from the other planet, the most BEAUTIFUL in universe! 🌺
There are pianists... And angels that caress the piano
This is one of the most lyrical performances I've ever heard....mesmerizing!
I was just about to "How dare he?" as I had just listened to Duke Ellington's classic version. I quickly realized "How dare I?" He's magnificent. Thank you Mr. Petrucciani.
Please be acknowlegded... that Duke is his hero... as he said once on the stage . 😊❤❤
I was always serenaded by the works of Erik Satie and William Grant Still and other musicians alike.... but just then when I heard him play, I was connecting with a new side of music again. And yes it is a great immense feeling. Every composition I watch and hear him play, I fall in love with every chord progression and little notes he adds..

Para mi es el pianista de jazz que mas llega a mi corazon. El mas grande para mis gustos.
Era un pianista maravilloso, pero también un maestro de cómo enfrentar la adversidad.
Beautiful! I imagined Chet in my mind playing along with Petrucciani, it would have been just right.
carlosdavalos6247 whata concept ! you're right .
Or Joe Pass.
Stephane grapelli, michael and django!
One of the greatest geniuses of 20th century
Genio assoluto! Non ci sono parole per definire il suo immenso talento musicale. Peccato che se ne sia andato così presto .
"W sentymentalnym nastroju " Oby się serce we łzach Rozpływało...
Amazing : just blown away . Best version I've heard .
absolutely
I keep returning to this. Nobody’s done it better in my opinion.
I'll drink a beer to that
Of all the jazz pianists I've heard, Michel is definitely the greatest.
Whow @ 3:41 he goes into galactic harmony heaven ! If you get a chance check out his documentary film.He's filled with the love of life, humor,and being a better musician and composer.He was a close friend of Charles Lloyd who's also in it.
michele had 2 brains , one for each hand
The Duke would have been so proud!
Petit par la taille , géant par son tallent un musicien d'exception , tu nous manque Michel .
Un giorno scopriro' che Dio e' un nanetto anche lui. Ed allora sara' tutto chiaro:-)
Arrivederci Michael
He just gave everything. No security net here, constantly slipping away, towards the edge with pure musical honesty.
At this level of Excellence there is no difference between the player and the instrument they have each consumed the other
Cristo , que sentimiento y que devoción en la búsqueda del tono perfecto. Petrucciani , sigues vivo.-
pure genius.this man was a wonderful player up with the very best jazz players of all time.we are very lucky he visited us even for such a short time.may god bless him wherever he may be.nice upload many thanks.
Like Paul Morphy the chess genius , Michel Petrucciani came into our lives, and like a comet passing through , left us way too soon . :-( what a guy !!!!!
Michel wasn't here very long, but he woke up a whole mess of folks about what is musically possible! And he changed the world...
Ooh. This little man with big hands, and big hands and an even greater heart. Add an unique talent and musicality and that was Michel. A very very special person that have enriched so many of us. Extraordinary indeed!
I also am ashamed to say I had never heard of him until a stumbled at random on one of his vids a few minutes ago. I am totally amazed by his playing -and shocked I have not heard of him before.

Michel a transformé la musique classique en musique jazz. Quel bonheur
Une interprétation grandiose, à nulle autre pareille. Absolument magnifique de sensibilité !
Who’s back getting blown away by this incredible performance in 2024? He’s moving between so many harmonic styles so deftly.

never heard of him till now...beautiful!
Tears in my eyes...so beautiful ♡
Amazing recording of such an wonderful ballad...once beautifully recorded by the duke and coltrane and here , so different but so similar at the same time by petrucciani...arguable the best concert he ever gave, with the same passion he always used to put out there.
Great musician, great music - rest in peace michael
Magia, pura magia, che ha dell incredibile note dal cuore, indelebili. Se non lo conoscete ascoltate i suoi lavori, note che regalano emozioni uniche.
This man makes a mockery of stereotyping! an angelic being ...
Brilliant. Despite the medical problems, he soldiered on and left us beautiful music. In this overcrowded World of solo jazz piano , he stood out. Fantastic. RIP.
little in your body size, but immense in the music!!! Thanks
Well put.
Sublime interpretación de alguien tan inmenso en alma.
Had be been permitted a normal lifespan, I think we might be talking about MP today in the same breath with Ocar, Bill Evans, Chic, Keith Jarrett, etc. RIP Michel.
For a short man , he is a giant musician. Love him....
Un mago del jazz....genio indiscutible...siempre en nuestros corazones *****
Sir Michel Petrucciani is a GREAT little man........
Truly sublime. When he goes from that little vamp to the pp bridge, its like all the air is instantly sucked out of the room.
Da un uomo piccolo di statura,grande grandissima musica! Meravigliosi enigmi della vita. E vai Michel!!!
I love how he hits the notes ...it's sublime
That there is Passion.
never heard of this man until now amazing god bless😇
che dire.. i brividi te li strappa..
È come vedere l'ottantenne Monet devastato dall'artrite, con il pennello legato alla mano dipingere le sue ninfee...
Arte allo stato puro...
Cada noche navego prendido al mástil del insomnio: sé de ti.
En la emoción del piano... Media vuelta al oscuro silencio la luz que lo taja.
Il massimo ragazzi!! Il massimo della bravura!!!!
Non ci sono aggettivi per questo mostro sacro della musica
in touch to the soul... a true heartbeat to those that tune in...

Saw him at one of his first public performances in 1981. He's a spectacular player.
Pour moi le jazz c'est la plus merveilleuse des écoles ...elle n'exige rien d'autre que le talent ...le reste lui est superflu

Casi lloro con esta interpretación, no todos los músicos causan ese efecto, un prodigio este maestro.
I liked this more than Bill Evans' version
Ditto! And Bill Evans is my favorite pianist. I've yet to here anybody else dig so deep into this tune.
Yeah, but the Coltrane and Duke Ellington version is nothing to sneeze at!
Is my favourite too but this version is the deepest and better
It´s amazing!!! This man was incredible!!
Michel Petrucciani a un don d'artiste, c'est un génie qui mérite son succès, son courage et ses qualités me laisse sans voix, incroyable ! Merci boogieonlineat et RUclips :-)
Playing and quoting The Duke. Simply amazing! !!!!!
i am crying at the sound of the first two chords only...don't know if i can bear listening to the whole thing.
Thank you Michel, you touch my soul with your music.
Absolute Masterpiece ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
It's perfect)))🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The most important is the heart, and Michel had one of the biggest, and directly connected with God
Dr Aub 👍 I agree, RIP Michel🙏 Best Jazzpiano player ever.
you got it the point of the universal music
Incredibly beautiful Version!! Timelessly artistic jazz piano playing.
Il arrive à toujours monter en puissance tout au long de cette magnifique improvisation 👏
Bravo! It's wonderful.
Pedazo de interpretación. Estas piezas llegan cuando tienen que llegar... ¡Gracias, Michel!
When I heard that Bill Evans (!!) was an influence, well...that was it. Amazing gent.
como puede existir gente que le de dislike a este video por Dios
+Bolivar Castillo Ignorancia musical? Mal gusto? Envidia? el ser humano tiene tantos misterios insondables...
+Bolivar Castillo Lo hacen aquellos que oyen pero no escuchan, los que no tienen en su ADN el gen de la sensibilidad. Pobre de ellos...
+Bolivar Castillo increible bro, yo tampoco me explico :(
tienen pequeño el cerebro pobrecitos
Brividi
I get all spiritual when I listen to this...Thank you, Mr Michel Petrucciani!
Harmony of the universe, God, he make´s me cry
who, God?
This man just heard things on another level, and it came out to entertain us, never heard anyone go into the harmonic possibilities that he did without it sounding discordant.
To play a masterpiece and to do a new masterpiece
this interpretation is incredible ... I love it, thanks for sharing !
Un artista inmenso. Asombrosa interpretación. Genio total!!!
Sweet Jesus....
