But lately I’ve been getting very good and I guess watch worthy shit? I dunno but for some reason I feel cool cause we must be smart to the algorithm for it to be like “hmmmm, this dude will totally get it”. I did. And I don’t think I’ve given piano players a listen... ever. And the fact that he’s a little dude, and possibly with fuckin polio plays flawlessly and shit. Plus I’ve never heard of him but looks like a fuckin sold out arena for him and Kenny g or some shit. Anywhoosle Reddit kinda does the same thang? So I’m wondering if they said fuck it and asked for some help? My other thought.

Michel Petrucciani (French pronunciation: [miʃɛl petʁutʃani]; Italian: [petrutˈtʃaːni]; 28 December 1962 - 6 January 1999)[1] was a French jazz pianist. From birth he had osteogenesis imperfecta, a genetic disease that causes brittle bones and, in his case, short stature. He became one of the most accomplished jazz pianists of his generation despite having pain in his arms. Osteogenesis imperfecta seemed to contribute greatly both to Petrucciani's personality and his playing style. By his own account, he was in almost constant physical pain.[7] Yet, he was known for his cheerful, playful, even cavalier personality. He said, "I love humor, I love to laugh, I love jokes, I love silliness, I love that, I think it's great, I think laughter is worth a whole lot of medicine."[7] In 1994, he was granted the Order of the Légion d'honneur in Paris. In the late 1990s, Petrucciani's lifestyle became increasingly taxing. He was performing over 100 times per year, and in 1998, the year before he died, he performed 140 times. He became too weak to use crutches and had to resort to a wheelchair. His final manager said, "He was working too much - not only recording and doing concerts, but he was always on television, and he was always doing interviews. He got himself overworked, and you could see it. He pushed too much." In his later years Petrucciani was known to drink heavily.[3] Petrucciani died from a pulmonary infection a week after his 36th birthday. He was interred in Le Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, one tomb away from Frédéric Chopin.[3] On 12 February 2009, the French music channel Mezzo broadcast a special event paying homage to Petrucciani on the 10th anniversary of his death.
