Michel Petrucciani Trio Live in concert

[kdcgtr]

It's a tune he wrote called I Just Way Hello, obviously based on Giant Steps (up a half step?). He recorded it on the album Estate, and wrote it in 1981.

[rodolfmm]

This is definitely "Giant steps", what I was looking for! I'm happy now.

However, does anyone know why the heck this video say "I just say hello"?

[Singer16051974]

One of my favorite Pianist! Inspiring touch ...

[MarcusOhrealyis]

The name of this tune is "Giant Steps" by John Coltrane. A great piece of music. I don't understand how they failed to mention this! But nonetheless, "Mike P" is among the greatest of the greats.,, "was" that is, he passed away somewhat recently, only 36 or 7 years old. Amazing pianist. He was so tiny he often posed sitting on someone's lap, such as another musician in the group.

[H3A7]

The Drummer was really inspired by Steve Gadd ...

[MrBluetrane]

Qualcuno mi sa dire che live è questo..e se è stato inciso in LP???

[oliverecords]

I'm lstening to this thinking about what Michel said: he didn't like jamming...

[ultrssa]

A giant of music

[pamirs94]

[paconot]

He is JAZZ.

[BigLoquen]

R.I.P

[blackcowsteel]

p.s.: if you like ´giant steps´ watch also michel camilo´s version.

[blackcowsteel]

so difficult to play a solo on this, but michel does it with a obviousness that´s simply breath-taking. Thank´s for the video, i never heard petrucciani play this tune before!

[karlzdrago]

Snif.......Snif........THE KING!!!

[galfredos]

[OmriLahavComposer]

[Jazzper79]

A small man with a giant talent.

[decryptou]

that's "giant step"...amazing michel rest in peace

[zybern]

like an octopus playing the piano,when u close up his fingers while playing the piano

[malilacreuse]

comme il le disait je ne suis pas un genie mais c est quatre heures de clavier par jour cedisque demontre une technique ahurissante helas la section rythmique n est pas a la hauteur

[KARLERIKAN]

Coltrane released his album "Giant Steps" in 1959 (about) and this record is still a sensation, it had taken me 2 years to pick up this tune on my piano. Petrucciani is just a phenomenal musician, thanks

[eusebe37]

de quand date cette vidéo?

[julman825]

Grandissimo Michel, un fraseggio unico, irripetibile. Aveva la capacità di distinguere tutte le note, l'una dall'altra, come pochi altri...

[misterpece]

El mejor solo de piano sobre Giant Steps, que líneas!, un grande !!!

[AviramG]

What is he, like 18 here or something?

[ge2369]

Amazing

[crocrodri765]

True urtoman, he is Music

[urtoman]

i have no words, how great IS this man?

nature is extraordinary cruel sometimes.

R.I.P. Michel, you'll be remembered as long music will exists.

[BeatleUniversity]

You have no idea how much I dig this!!!!

[GrilloNoGRAZIE]

Giant Steps superb solo!

[jamboy3]

It is 'Giant Steps'....DUH!!!

[raps2001]

Sounds like Giant Steps to me

[guitarike]

this is Giant Steps. anyone who can't hear that needs to tune up his jazz ear a bit more.

all that aside, petrucciani is at his best here, what a talent.

[guitarike]

p.s. i know it's not really Giant Steps, but rather "I Just Say Hello", but it's 99% a ripoff of the former.

[BloodRedPiano]

A giant in a little body

[Psychosirius]

giant steps not i just to say hello

[donnythejazz]

Thanks, but isn't that what I said in the description.

[SlyHobbit]

@donnythejazz

Reading is a long lost skill these days. Anyway, thanks so much for posting. I discovered this guy via Steve Gadd and I was instantly amazed.

[b3boss]

Anyone who has ever struggled through those changes knows how brilliant his playing is.

[galfredos]

Wonderfull timing and lines !!

[capitanfacius]

sencillamente único.

[mantex500]

Just give thanks that this was captured on video. I saw MP once live - and the experience was wonderful.

[Leonelpf]

Petrucciani, el piano te quedaba chico... gloria al amestro para siempre!!

[damildlyshreddah]

Petrucciani's phrasing is deadly and this solo is an perfect exampel of his genius.

[microcosmic2]

the title is wrong , it is "giant steps"

[donnythejazz]

I did say that in my comments!

[jimlinks]

Amazing chops! I wonder what his stretch was. I doubt that he could stretch more than an octave but who could tell? It shows that you don't have to have hands like Peterson to play two-handed piano.

[bassdomb]

he could span an 11th. his hands were the only big part of him...i think.

[RobertRasimus]

Petrucciani is just awesome! He also looks funny, because he's so small compared to the size of the grand piano..
