- Michel Petrucciani came from an Italo-French family with a musical background. His father Tony played guitar and his brother Louis played bass. Michel was born with osteogenesis imperfecta, which is a genetic disease that causes brittle bones and in his case short stature. It is also often linked to pulmonary ailments. In his early career his father and brother occasionally carried him, literally, because he could not walk far on his own unaided. In certain respects though he considered it an advantage as it got rid of distractions, like sports, that other boys tended to become involved in.[1]
At an early age he became an enthusiast of Duke Ellington and wished to become a pianist like him. Although he trained for years as a classical pianist, jazz remained his main interest. He gave his first professional concert at 13. At this point in his life he was still quite fragile and had to be carried to and from the piano. His size meant that he required aids to reach the piano's pedals, but his hands were average in length. This had its advantages, however: at the start of his career Petrucciani's manager would often smuggle him into hotel rooms in a suitcase in a bid to save money. By the age of 18 he was part of a successful trio. He moved to the US in 1982, where he successfully encouraged Charles Lloyd to resume playing actively. On February 22, 1985, with Petrucciani cradled in his arms, Lloyd walked onto the stage at Town Hall in New York City and sat him on his piano stool for what would be an historic evening in jazz history: the filming of One Night with Blue Note. The film's director John Jopson would later recall in the film's reissued liner notes that the moment moved him to tears. In 1986 Petrucciani recorded a live album with Wayne Shorter and Jim Hall. He also played with diverse figures in the US jazz scene including Dizzy Gillespie.[2]
In 1994 he was granted a Légion d'honneur in Paris.
His own style was initially influenced by Bill Evans although some compare him to Keith Jarrett. He is often deemed to be among the best jazz pianists ever to come from France.
On the personal side he had three significant relationships. His first marriage to Italian pianist Gilda Buttà ended in divorce. He also fathered two children, one being a son named Alexandre. One of these children inherited his condition. He also had a stepson named Rachid Roperch.[3]
Michel Petrucciani died just after his 36th birthday from a pulmonary infection. He was interred in Le Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris.
On February 12, 2009 the French music channel Mezzo broadcast a special event paying homage to Petrucciani ten years after his death.
The first two American albums featuring Michel Petrucciani were produced by Gabreal Franklin. The first, 100 Hearts, a solo album, was produced at the famous RCA Studio A, on the Avenue of the Americas in New York City. The second was a trio album, recorded live at Max Gordon's old Village Vanguard club in New York City. These were among the first albums to use newly developed digital recording technology, on Mitsubishi X80 recorders, so early on that the only manuals available were in Japanese; but Franklin and Tom Arrison managed to get them to function by trial and error, and produced excellent results.

this man was a genius and his heart was full of beauty!!
Petrucciani. A gift from the universe.
Every time I feel like complaining about life ....I listen to Michel playing the piano !!!!...an inspiration of joy
Couldn't have said it better myself. Pure joy!
Very true, Venita.
His music is full of happiness!
Michel Petrucciani, being one of ‘My Favorite Things’, probably wouldn’t mind my pointing out what this track owes to McCoy Tyner, part of the ensemble on the famous 1961 John Coltrane album of that name. I still remember the first time I heard Petrucciani play: a recent CD in the background of a Paris wine bar in 1992. ‘Qui joue au piano?’ I asked the waiter in one of my first fully-formed French sentences. He was only too thrilled to tell me. Grateful to have become a fan in his home country, while he was still with us on earth.
It's beautiful, sounds like a beam of light piercing through the acknowledgement of suffering
The best description! Thanks!
I'm ❤a musician,/pianist/teacher, ...thus is just too unbelievable 😅
I love michel. RIP
Top Nice,lyric And poetic !❤️❤️❤️👍
His tone so rich n refined..you can hear a great classical music background, which so many other jazz artists lack. ..but his notes are as bluesy n bopish as any great....and some People say there's no god...just look n listen and you see w God all things are possible..mp r.i p. One of the greatest
Just enjoy the music and cut the Christian crap , there's tremendous intelligence in nature of which we are a part ..not your middle Eastern god
@@livingpiano this man had many many ailments as anyone can see. Every bone in his body was easy to break except his hands..he was carried through airports near death numerous time but had strength enough to play a concert...you could talk about nature w keith Jarrett, Hancock, evans,peterson etc...petrucciani is much more devine, special...in nature lions slaughter lambs....with him hes the lamb slaughtering the lion...peace out
Think that Petrucciani's music is that kind of art that are beyond God and make people of any kind of believes come together. Saludos, paz.
Oh dang, this song starts off amazing and keeps getting better!
What an absolute musical genius. So blessed I saw him 3 times in the 90s in Hollywood.

Yes! I like to think that is a sweet homage to Coltrane, Tyner and the others!
Es una melodía hermosa, la guardaré en mi corazón. Vine acá por un "manga" llamado 100 hearts (no me pregunten que tipo de manga es por qué bueno... 🗿).
Discovering a myth. Michel is absolutely outstanding
