Michel Petrucciani - Caravan

Petrucciani plays caravan

[@franckmultiac]

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.

[@Michaur]

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]

Much better that those pianists that play Bach and behave like they did invented Bach's music. Respect!

[@ecstrema]

he was far from modest. It removes nothing from his incredible musicality and talent.

[@Johannes_Brahms65]

@@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.

[@entasis704]

@@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.

[@MrCopperlickering]

I was lucky to attend on his concert

[@glenntreser6668]

This is the first time I have ever herd of Petrucciani what a treat and joy to listen to his wonderful playing. Thanks Chris

[@entasis704]

He was called the Avatar of the Piano when he landed in California when he was around 20y old. Glass bones disease, heavy form.

[@hlcepeda]

He was In the Zone!!!!

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...

[@MassMultiplayer]

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

[@didiermunier1239]

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

[@PORQUETEVAS2048]

Du haut de son nuage, Michel te remercie pour "l'imperfection apparente".

[@fredericp2740]

C’était un pianiste hors normes !!!! Certains disent qu’il avait un métronome comme 5 eme sens !!

[@Cdarlosfletch58]

What a talent ! Wow

[@jslevenson101]

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

[@GjaP_242]

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.

[@winterstei]

I my opinion he turned to Johann Sebastian Bach. Egal. Great interpretation of a masterpiece.

Wow !!! Je ne connaissais pas ce musicien. Il est incroyable. Quel talent !

[@morzhed-hoqh732]

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.

[@tiasara5967]

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.

[@profile2047]

Wow. Just wow.

[@ojshilinski8358]

This guy's playing is absolute magic!!!

[@jdcaporali]

So much joy in his phrasing, can't help but smile. What a genius!

[@nezkeys79]

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

[@alanwitton5039]

This is my first encounter with this wonderful player! Fantastic listening!

[@chrismils9248]

I like how he backhandedly tells those kids to shut up while he's playing.

[@ivanmassimiliano4793]

Mamma mia !! cosa dire.... un mostro sacro della musica! Grazie Michel

[@manutopia61]

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!!!

[@angelialvares]

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!

[@Zoltan-sb2hh]

Köszönöm ezt a különlegességet. Ilyet nemcsak hogy nem hallottam,de még elképzelni sem tudtam. 👍

[@muffintopz4692]

What a talent. First time hearing him play.

[@skinnysnorlax1876]

He does a version of "round midnight" you can find on youtube. One of the finest performances I have ever heard

[@KremIsis]

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.

[@paolomotteran3352]

Un musicista così meritava di vivere per sempre. Purtroppo sappiamo che non è possibile, ma io lo ascolterò comunque per sempre.

[@HuaWei-wq3ty]

J'ai eu la chance de l'écouter jouer Caravan à Lille au théâtre Sebastopol dans les années 90. Souvenir inoubliable ! Prodigieux !

[@moniquelarocque888]

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!

[@MyArikson]

Много раз слушал "Караван" в его исполнении и каждый раз восхищаюсь и наслаждаюсь. Спасибо, Мишель. Тебя нам очень не хватает. Браво МАЭСТРО 👏👏👏

[@kimjohnellis698]

what is he dead? Why is everyone dead? There's Monk, Ruben Gonzalez and there's this guy that's the trinity

[@BigBri998]

I keep coming back to listen to more Michel. he maintains a magic that brings me back.

[@ojshilinski8358]

Yes, I too feel a need to come back to refresh with the magic he spins.

[@BazzTriton]

Yes!

[@ojshilinski8358]

Ditto!!!

[@jadams3427]

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 !

[@BigBri998]

This performance is just as fresh today as it was 8 months ago!

[@winterstei]

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.

Time! I don't think I have ever heard anyone keep time like this man. Amazing.

[@florencehenderson3707]

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.

[@avagrace7560]

My, can he play.❤️❤️❤️...I have not heard "Caravan" for quite a few years.......thank you so much for sharing.

He is absolutely the greatest jazz pianist of all times! I cannot image someone who is better! And this thus his difficulties in life! I love you!

Fletcher hiromi uehara, oscar peterson

[@fabiopalma4429]

there's "no better" at this level. Although Bill Evans deserves to be mencioned as a god on his own style

[@RD3D-1]

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.

[@RomanAdar]

Genial, never underestimate a person based on their look. Thanks for sharing.

[@kinomabrothers7041]

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
