Michel Petrucciani - Autumn Leaves

[@cascanicoff5763]

RIP Michel Petrucciani. Nature made you small. You made yourself a giant.

Beautifully said...

[@slowcuber_aze]

May God have him in heaven, amen.

[@brianruskin9241]

At 74 I had long ago given up on my music and was just sort of waiting for the end. You have been the major part in giving me back my life. You have been the major player in getting me off my backside and practicing again. You have been the major factor in re igniting my passion for music. I thank you and I love you. If there is heaven and I am destined to go there, I will search for you and give you a hug and my thanks from the bottom of my heart.

[@oldgoat142]

Beautifully said! Never quit. Never surrender your passion! Age is nothing but a number. Now that the flame is re-ignited, keep it fed and let it burn bright within your heart and soul. Let your music be your voice, just as it once was long ago. Let it flow once again through your veins. I wish you well.

yes I play guitar and piano 4 to 6 hours evey day. Makes live better my friend :)

@@ronsiegrist2034 Then you have been highly blessed by both his music, and his friendship. A legacy I'm sure you treasure.

[@sbaiar]

Just astonished! That may be the best version of Autumn Leaves I’ve ever heard on ANY instrument. Truly God sent down an angel to play for us!

[@abelwritesmusic]

Check out Stanley Jordan's version of Autumn Leaves. It's on guitars and very different but very good.

[@gl2195]

Dire que c'est en concert... C'est absolument incroyable. Il est toujours difficile de parler de perfection en musique car on la ressent tous de façon différente. Mais là quand même, je crois bien qu'on y est. Il n'y a rien en trop, il ne manque rien, comme une évidence. Un truc infiniment complexe et technique mais qu'un absolu béotien peut ressentir au plus profond de lui. C'est sans doute ça le génie.

[@alessandrofranzoni7447]

Talento, tecnica, passione, energia, libertà: VITA. Questo era il grandissimo Petrucciani.

[@igotbluesdevils]

aveva un beat pazzesco, un senso del tempo mostruoso, a parte tutto il resto :D grande Michel

[@boblansburg1365]

I was so fortunate to see/hear him in small venue. It was 30 years ago and that experience is still with me. An unbelievable genius.

[@louismarie92]

Une interprétation de ces "Feuilles mortes" qui touche au coeur et à l'esprit. Quel incroyable génie, ce bien cher Michel Petrucciani !

[@georgefirk5531]

The Intro is a “variation” on You Must Believe In Spring then another Michel Legrand piece.This is the most amazing Autumn Leaves I have ever heard.It surely a must for ALL to hear!!!

[@msotil]

Petrucciani and Bill Evans. Both in a class by themselves.

[@PG-yi9iz]

all pianos are yearning for a maestro like you

[@bluenotetom]

What a pure gifted musician. He's greatly missed. Thanks Michel for all the music you gave the world.

[@francoisepercier5529]

Que cela fait du bien de se plonger en ce moment dans cette belle et expressive sensibilité ! Tellement revivifiant! A vos claviers les robots du transhumanisme, vous avez du boulot avant d’arriver à la cheville de ce petit bonhomme! La beauté sauvera le monde et celle ci repose dans ce qu’il y a en nous de plus fragile, de plus humain, comme l’exprimait si bien ce magicien du jazz.

[@Jazzhog]

Petrucciani ! One of the most exciting Jazz improvisers ever. Such technique, truly extraordinary.

[@hyeongjinoh584]

I did not know how to appreciate this tune when I was early 20s. When I grow to (perhaps) more fully understand the subtle emotions in it, I have just me. I hope this song is heard once again.

[@nathangoshawk]

So complex, yet so much soul. Such mastery actually brought a tear to my eye and a smile to my face. I just wish more people appreciated this kind of creativity.

[@nugsymalone1247]

I'm right there with ya

Amazing how it starts so slowly and then builds into all these different architectures.

[@fpso3936]

Heureusement que le Genie Musical n'est pas de pair avec "perfection physique", tant recherchée aujourd'hui!! . Merci Michel.

[@MisterJSF]

Je suis un grand fan de Petrucciani, et je me suis toujours dit que ce que la nature lui avait fait comme vacherie en lui donnant cette maladie des os, elle l'avait compensé en lui donnant ce génie musical incroyable. Quelle tristesse qu'il soit mort si jeune... 😥😥😥

[@marioa-b5345]

What a gift he was to the World. We need more music, not wars. Thanks Monsieur Petrucciani, rip.

[@roquebenavidez]

Genio , único . No puedo dejar de escucharte . Y cada vez con mas profundidad reconozco tu talento. Increíble . A veces Dios no quiere que las cosas buenas perduren y te llevo antes de tiempo. El misterio.

[@mateuszdybka4743]

Amazingly beautiful harmonies, to me the best part starts at 3:32 One of the best jazz pianists ever with incredible musical imagination

[@Eden_Rubin_Music]

this is a really astonishing performance in all aspects, amazing sound, amazing reharmonization and recomposiotion, unbeliveable thechnique and speed(especially in adition to his size) and time feel and amazing improvisation. one of the things that I truly like about his impro is the fact that he didn't care to play "simple" melodies with simple scales almoat classical like, almost not bebop and still sound amazing and interesting

[@tedoydislake]

Cuánta genialidad nos dejó este hombre. Fantástico Michel Petrucciani.

[@nigelnash4264]

no one got this raw emotional sound as michel a genius and I know all music lovers can hear this Nigel Nash I great britain

He was one of my favorite pianists. I didn't miss his concerts in Zürich.

[@Dr.Pepper001]

Wow, I don't think I could ever pronounce your last name.

[@balthazarriviere6036]

I haven't found more creative and dynamic version of Autumn Leaves than Petrucciani. Thanks

[@johnlawson2458]

Simple and strident! Each voice is so clear and yet so strident ! I hear Tatum constructed! What a pure joy!

Kokia graži muzika, kaip puikiai atliekama. Aš žaviuosi žmogaus talentu.

Michel Petrucciani Simply one of the best piano players

[@FTorre-br1tx]

Le Extraordinaire Michel Petrucciani. Bravo. Merci.

[@parseclogicmusic1229]

His introduction is a work of art in itself.

[@hedgeclipper418]

I love how the introduction hints at Autumn Leaves so suddenly, but you don't actually hear the real head drop until around two and a half minutes in.

[@raymondbohuhtai1122]

Actually it draws from the original song, which is very popular in France.

[@qzrnuiqntp]

He plays the verse, wich obviously perfectly introduced the chorus. This is a great song.

[@jettero75]

A mio avviso uno dei migliori pianisti di sempre.

BRAVO & OLAY!!! And many thanks for sharing with us all.

[@sergiodelacuesta9400]

Obra maestra de interpretación con una introducción digna de ser un título. Te hecharemos siempre de menos.

[@NotTheWheel]

I've never heard anything quite like this before. I just discovered this man just a moment ago. This was really profound. I said to myself: What the hell was that!? In a good connotation, he swung notes around like a brush and made a painting out of it, that was some kind of art!

[@TheMrgaztop]

If there is a God, and there must be. He gave Michel, a gift few have. But what a price to pay, for that talent.

[@teoriadetudo]

I feel this music is like the summer going away and the winter coming. The general feel is winterly only there's some summer in it, but darker, colder. Anyway, the tittle really matches the whole feeling of the music. Genius.

[@antoniojesusgonzalezmedero5512]

No había oído una interpretación como esta,es una verdadera obra de arte

[@deedanielstv]

I should listen to more of this amazing stuff this guy plays.

[@panagiotisvasilopoulos2445]

a deeply emotional performance. Love it!

[@sweetladyd515]

just Awesome playing and I appreciate this opportunity to listen TY😃😍

[@frederickbaines5268]

The entire performance is about "Amour" di Michel Legrand. Petrucciani plays that wonderful theme between 1:30/2:20. Then he keeps soloing on "Autumn Leaves" chords progression, great moment at 6:00 with walking bass... You can recognize Legrand's theme again at 7:58/8.28 (after some echoes of "Autumn Leaves"). Best regards.

[@jlknaepen1934]

The composer of this tune is Joseph Kosma, lyrics by Jacques Prevert. Michel Legrand is just one of the many performers of this master piece.

[@joelvalade9377]

The theme you are talking about is the verse of "Autumn leaves", and is not a Legrand's theme.

[@and7barton]

Yes, that walking bass. I'm trying to master this technique .... TRYING is the correct word I think.

[@robertszirmai5523]

Master and a spirit you are !thank you sír RIP!)
