What a pianist he was. At 3:08 , he hammers that single key in I think 16th notes like a mad man for 32 BARS ! , right on the tempo and with a perfect quick transition. Surrounded by excellent musicians.

[@gabemkey5460]

HIs brain was like: Oh look this key!! That sounds good i will play it 2 minutes and fast :D

[@coyote6154]

He swallowed a metronome when he was a kid.

[@hubbsllc]

Yes but by 4:00 it's time to whap him upside the head! :)

[@0000song0000]

0:30 keeping the lick/riff on his left hand is honestly way more difficult (than hitting the same note with two hands) Everything with such soul, no doubt!

[@hypocampos]

Fan depuis plus de 35 ans je redécouvre les vidéos de Michel... c'est du pur bonheur ! Un des plus grands pianistes de Jazz au monde.... Michel tu nous manque 😪

[@robertshamansky1912]

This is what makes KZbin so cool. I’m sure I never would heard of this gentleman, what a talent! Brilliant playing from everyone 🥳

[@pappawheely]

Yes it is a great format BUT......It would be cooler if they quit censoring everything vital to us ...Michel Petruccianni in my books is one of the best players ever great band too, of course

[@realmofrandomrealities8308]

Absolutely! I’ve found countless artists who I never would have heard of had it not been for KZbin!

Saw Petrucciani at Jazz Alley in Seattle in late 1988 - 89. A big guy carries him to the stage and sets him down at piano and oh yeah!!

[@mirazusta2002]

@@DuffyNightingale You read my mind, man. I saw him at Getxo around the same time as you, and this detail you mention about his PA carrying him to and from the stage made a great and positive impression on me, along with the music of course. Thank you for sharing.

[@ojshilinski8358]

Thank you KZbin - I would be lost if I didn't have you ... I'm 89 years old and would be lost if this was no longer available for me - Michel Petrucciani, genius, died much too young but achieved so much in his short life...

[@Zycopolis]

happy to make you happy !

[@mlggodzilla1567]

Everyone talking about Petrucciani, and i mean it's right he was truly a beast on the piano, but Steve Gadd absolutely slayed on the drums.

[@jenswetter251]

7:12 Petrucciani has his Steinway closed and, with a little smile on his lips, enjoys Steve Gadds "absolutely slaying on the drums". Kind of says it all, right? 👍😂

Anthony Jackson makes the best bass face ever... Jazz on overload.. Love it!

[@mirazusta2002]

Yes, and they all do one of the best Take the A Train rendition.

[@victorbarnes6898]

I play keyboards and some bass and guitar. I got hired to play keys for a band shopping their record that Anthony Jackson did the session on. After auditioning many bass players, we couldn't find someone that was any good and with our first gig coming up I came to rehearsal with my keyboards and a bass thinking we can get through the gig at least. It worked and after the gig, I worked my ass off learning all the nuances that Anthony played in the studio all the while waiting for a bass player to show up. No bass player ever did and I played bass with the band for two years. I learned a lot from Anthony. Actually, everything.

[@harkerroland9750]

Hes not that great, just experienced in keys and not so complex playing... why many people worship him??

Magia magia pura, ti porterò sempre nel mio cuore, grazie piccolo uomo immenso, esempio di volontà infinita.

[@paulgriffingatorgrooves]

Michel Petruciani is one of my favorite piano players because of his style. Obviously he has chops, but at times he plays so simple and beautifully rhythmic and melodic. He also really keys in with the drummer and bassist. You could compare him with Chick Corea and Michel Camilo, who both also do the same things in their own ways, yet he has his unique style. Everything recorded by the trio with Gadd and Jackson is the best!

[@paulvandermaas6639]

Genius. A life too short . Miss him

[@utkuergil4970]

Petrucciani is a genius and his piano is like an extention of his body

[@lalberodellenocciole5279]

21 years since then and Anthony Jackson still has the same face everytime

[@Skipperj]

I asked a jazz pianist "How do you keep from getting lost during a long drum solo like Steve played?"He said sing the solo in your head during it.

[@RaffRobinson]

Michel founded a great sound with this trio. A new sound, extremly modern and fresh. So badly, he passed away.

[@yanisyanis-sl5bl]

Je ne m’en lasse jamais ! Merci Michel !❤️

¶Jazz de muy alto nivel con el pianista Michel Pettruciani!

[@cemshakespeare565]

incredible inspiration and creativity for the whole group! Each Member subtly bringing his touch to their Common Score! I'm not a Jazz specialist, but I love it when it leaves in "free style" like that; like a Trance where everyone lets himself be carried away by the Melody that he builds and deconstructs with his partners according to their successive fulgurations! And a special wink for MICHEL! Being French myself I could not fail to bear him this mark of respect that this timeless Genius deserves amply, so much he knew how to make vibrate generations of music lovers and profane ^^

[@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out]

Google translate will never get French right. German, jah, nicht unmöglich, but French? never. impossible. "comment faire vibrer les générations" How to make vibrate generations. Really, AI? That's the best you can do?
