  • I love that sychopated feel! All of these guys are true masters :)

  • @ElliotTheMoose4

    Yes it's very difficult

    I checked outBill Evans and he does it sometimes

    but only a second and half

    One has then to concentrate on the right hand again

    and for avoiding going wrong there , one has to end that 'shit' at the left !

    Do you play ?

  • @ankhaton I do and I was doing homework while listening and I realised "oh my gosh" this feel takes a lot more skill to accomplish than I first thought :)

  • @ElliotTheMoose4 - Yeh, do it for a minute and the brain explodes :):)

    But it's worth the effect

    Yet one does it you'r much less in the need of a bassist & drummer

    If you want I make a kind of basic excercise

    just with two fingers

    next starting doing a children song or so with the RH

    Although : I did many songs where I tried

    they have TRIOLS or TRIPLET in the title

    Good luck - it's worth

  • correction. whole solo.

    ya, the Steve Gadd thing is too true...only Mike Brecker & Grover were as great foils as Michel for Steve!

  • I agree with your estimate of the talent involved in the sequence described....but if you listen to the whole sole from the point isolated, you must realize that the structure has been laid down by the late and lamented Oscar, who was not ascribed the pure genius that was his due - simply because he was too whole -some -for some - who confused comfort in one's skin with not having chops AND credibility. BIG mistake.

    Michel played larger than life - something both men had in common.

  • @BelSuave

    yes in a way - - Oscar was so perfect that there was less strai - strenght

    With Michel you see that he is really baking the croissant sur place

    Making the cookies on the spot

  • Hey! I dont find it... But i have a little snip to Stefano's Sax Solo!!! OMG! I very need this full! :)

  • @djmikenewman

    Perhaps YOU can find it - I couldn't !

  • oh my god, can't you just let us listen to this beautiful piece of music without talking only about technique!?! AND without stopping the video so brutally just to tell us what kind of technique he is using. I'll tell you which is his technique: he just does what he wants and likes, and he does it beautifully without need to think about it

  • @Uomodelgiapp0ne -

    There is a little thing to click it OFF

    -=-

    and when it pauses : that must be your internet provider or

    your computer

  • @ankhaton: You've uploaded a classic here but you risk losing the plot! 

  • @Uomodelgiapp0ne: Good comment! The musicians have earned the right to express their music musically!

  • @Uomodelgiapp0ne I totally agree with you!!!

  • @moviebuster1

    Just touch the red button, . . it's not very difficult to do that . . and the captions will dissapear

    -=-

    btw : I placed this for practionizing°° pianists

  • Comment removed

  • @Uomodelgiapp0ne It's like when you're in your car and your favorite solo is coming up so you crank it up. Just then your friend starts blurting out some stupid story about the shit his dog took that morning.

  • Hi I don't understand much -=- I did an OBAMA BLUES and with half the USA liking him and 30% likes jazz I have only a thousand viewzs or so in TWO years -=- I did it long before he was president. -=- And same year - I did on request - a sort of almost 'nothing' study It does n' t swing just 3 chords all the time and I have 30,000 there -=- Can somebody explain that to me ?????
  • 7 dislikes??? what were they smoking? idiots!

  • @korglove - yes I didn't know that

    I still think him to be the best

    not to forget Gary Peacock

    and the drummer.

  • @korglove 7 fucking stupid monkeys

  • i need this concert full! ahhhh orgasm!

  • @djmikenewman - - haha empty your popcorn first haha

  • @ankhaton haha! I have lot of rare chick corea, or keith jarret vid... If u need... :)

    I'll phone his brother here

  • This is amazing. What concert is this from ?

  • @thomas9982

    Michel, you ´ll live in ours hearts 4ever!

  • @bronskiwantsyou

    Ha Ha That is the best expression

    Ha dass ist einer schoener ausdrucking

    es scheint so einfach aber ist so schwer was er macht

    It seems so simple and is so difficult what he does

    How many mistakes are in my 2 german lines ??

    Please give

    Thumbs UP for my OBAMA BLUES

    It's for the planet

  • @ankhaton

    Only few mistakes, but every german would understand!

    :-)

    Keep on jazzin´

  • @bronskiwantsyou

    Thanks

  • I searched on that name

    and your comparison is un-worthy

  • julito martinez!

  • Super. Michel bol naj naj zo všetkych

  • PETRUCCIANI...UN MONSTRUO DE LA MUSICA!!! Y UN CACHONDO DE LA VIDA...ADMIRABLE!!

  • @ainhoawatermelon

    I cannot read . . but YES

  • @ankhaton

    LMAO, what he said......

  • Acho que estou escutando este trecho de música pela milionésima vez! Muito bom mesmo!

  • ohhh....it's a angel...meraviglioso!

  • @pippomazzocchio

    Yes

    and impossible to copy that

    I try it all the time

    Thank you

    Please give me Thumbs Up for OBAMA BLUES

  • Az biszti hogy zsenik foleg Michel.....

  • @ankhaton SO GREAT MAN 

  • @pippomazzocchio ogni volta che lo riascolto ho i brividi, cazzo come suonava di brutto.

  • @gil968 A chi lo dici. In questo brano suddivide il tempo in qualcosa di impercettibile ma efficacissimo. E' emozione pura. E' qualcosa che non si può trascrivere

  • Depos dos Grizzly Bear, nada como um grande som para cair na cama e dormir com os anjos

  • How do you desribe such an incredibly performed piece of music?

    Michel was a pure genius!

  • zsenik!!!!!!!

  • breeezz  很喜歡你的部落

  • what would we do without him?!!

  • A wonderful pianist, I saw him live in Seatle in 1990, just by chance: I came out of the cinema, walked into a wine bar.....and there he was...., I was amazed by his playing. .... Today I have 29 of his records in my collection. My prefeered one probably being "Darn that dream", where he plays with his father Antoine at the guitar and his brother Louis at the double bass. Superb!!.

  • Hi - Yes Seattle that's far from here

    My neighbor had guitar lessons from Tony , his father

    Bless you to have such a taste

  • @capitan39 Lucky you!

  • I just stumbled across this. Amazing good solo and feel. I love jazz :)!

  • So happy you like Him

    He is terrific ( was )

  • *I am so sorry*, ankhaton. I regret my original annotation comment.

    @deepkeel & others, we should be grateful for the video. Anybody, please just do what ankhaton suggested & 'turn off' annotations (hover the cursor on the black button with an arrow pointing up).

  • Thanks for the tutorial. Sorry, too, Ankhaton, and thank you for posting this.

  • You know, . . . this was much less nasty than most ( not all ) comments on my playing Hâ

    See my song ERIC SCHMIDT about that

    and if you have kids see my song JESUS (not religious)

    or OBAMA BLUES

  • take the Youtube Manual

    You can do it yourself but I will put them in the corner!

    I placed it because often pianists ask how to increase 'grooving'

  • I had no idea! Thank you so much for that. It was useful the first time, I admit, but I missed just staring at the clip without distraction. Thank you :-)

  • I place/think a lot for pianists

    the guys/gurls who cannot read notes

    like me

    try ti propose tiny things improving the playing immensly

    That Triol thing (like a waltz is easy for a drummer but difficult

    for a pianist)

  • Do you know why they call a drummer's seat a throne? Because drummers are kings and queens.

    --Ed Thigpen, August 1984

  • sorry but what are you saying ???

    the final of the piece is the original...

    what type of coincidence?!?!?

    please remove your stupid comment on video e respect the artist Mr.Petrucciani

  • He would greatly

    appreciate what is in the comment

    This cooincidence is about survival

    of the human race

    including his family.

    -

    And take the Youtube Manual

    It's YOU chosing to have comments

    See my Obama Blues

  • YOU CAN USE THE ON/OFF SWITCH

  • The reference to my SHANDORA song at the end

    normally I never did such thing

    but now

    THE HUMAN SPECIES IS AT STAKE

    so, . .  .

    working somewhat for my grandchildren

  • cuanto buen gusto musical junto, me siento un privilegiado al poder apreciar esta maravilla de interpretación.

    3 genios totales

  • Wow man! 0 - 3:43 was unbeatable! Sorry for my English, but i haven't seen such an amazing thing in a long time!

  • I agree - butthe other one

    which I have added under thge screen

    he plays a concert in Japan

    That is also fantastic

    and the bass player Gary Peacock : the best of the world

    Hé, pl. go to my main songs and place some ****

    we have the same taste

  • What a big you are, Michel!!!!

  • Steve Gadd / Petrucciani ! :D

    La branlée quoi :D

  • Anthony Jackson is the boss!!!

  • Ye Ye . . . all of them

  • This guy was awsome!

  • 100%

  • petrucciani è un figo!

  • Figo

    What's that  ?

  • I think there's no exact translation, since it's a new word in italian...I would say "cool", but more than cool...maybe cool+great at the same time...

  • Bonjour, - hé that's so nice

    to know

    I find Italian the most beautiful language in the world -

    japanese , . . i like too

    Hé can you please place good stars at my last song from yesterday

    It's to please a child - Thanks

  • I think I didn't understand your request...could you explain again? :-)

  • Thxs

    now in french  HâHâ

    Madrid ?

  • Tenía un gustazo para tocar que nadie se lo quita.

  • Hi - I have seen your taste and your age -

    I cannot believe you don't know 10 words in english

    So, use them because nobody understands what you say !

  • Outch!

    Talking about taste (that's what i said in my last post)

    This man had awesome taste in his solos :)

  • I cannot believe you don't know 10 words in spanish. o me vas a contar que el imperialismo yanqui te lo impone?

  • OH,

    I'm going to resist the yankee imperialism imposed on us

    Je m'opposerai contre l'mperialisme americaine , imposé sur TOI

    Grec now . . . . .

    HâHâ Are you in Madrid ?? or so ?

  • Yes, . . also, there are so many many moments for instance 00:22 changement of key 00:30 a children's song tune and then what you say and then the constant left hand and the most important : the constant DELAY that is : always playing a split second to late like Erroll Garner did sometimes they call it 'strumming' or something I'm trying that all the time but it is so difficult and also the triols that is on 4 beats counting with the right hand 3 with the left wihich makes so grooving
  • personnally I really enjoyed the phrase at 0:44.. quite beautiful :)

  • i dun geddit. what's at 1:37 ?

  • The time counter

  • :-)

  • Yeah, that's what i'm talking about..

    awesome virtuoso

    Thanx for uploading.

  • Yes is seems as if he is constantly to late

    he has that DELAY, Erroll Garner had it too

    Hiromi a little bit

    Myself I try it, and many people say : hé you, . . . buy a metronome

    -

    But they would never say that to Michel, neither to you

    because you are so good technically

    I always hoped there would come a Good Pianist doing it too

  • Lovely!

  • Sounds like some Inspector Gadget/Batman tune, lol nice.

  • Amazing jazz virtuoso

  • Amazing rhythmic virtouso.

  • Yes

    I try it eachday - it's impossible

    It's call 'Triols' they said

    a kind of 3 beats with the left against 2 or 4 with the right

  • Genius is never self-conscious

  • Hi men remember that the trumpet player is FLAVIO BOLTRO one of the best trumpet player in the world ... remember !

  • so sick is mike....... :)

  • michelle, I miss you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The saxophonist is Stefano Di Battista, one of the most prominent Italian jazz musicians...

  • what is saxophone's name?

  • right... u betta tell em who steve gadd iz...

  • That drummer--I'm glad to see two physically challenged people in one band.

    Look at how skinny Anthony Jackson was...the guy ballooned.

  • Steve Gadd?? Are you crazy, he just has pure groove flowing through his body, he can't help it.

    BTW, I'm onboard with that Hiromi request.

  • right....steve gadd... a legend

  • Dude that's steve gadd, the GREATEST drummer that lives!

  • Gadd isn't physically challenged, bastard.

  • can you blame him? He lost his soul mate in '98 (AJ that is) Nothing out of the ordinary with Steve Gadd, he just lives inside the music, if it's mellow like this he goes all mellow too, nothing to do with his physique

  • Love it. Thanks Michel.

    Jesper, Denmark

  • you mean you play that too ????

  • from 1:13-1:20. Just listen to that phrase. I think somebody needs to transpose that.

    Definetely.

  • Hi - that's what WAYUNDER did

    click on VID_COMMENT above

    and see the other Michel VID_COMMENT too

    That's also terrific.

  • Thanks!! Alot! Thank you! Just learned it! :)

  • Its beyond everything................

  • he has big fantazi

  • He touches the G point of my soul!

  • That's well said - I heard an interview with him

    and he said it was orgasmic to do - but higher ! i guess in his heart.

    I try the Left Hand stuff and when it works it's kind of self-hypnotism

    HE SHOULD HAVE 10 MILLION VIEWS

    DON4T YOU AGREE ?

  • We should not care about the "skills" to play what he does, we should care about the music, thats what its all about

    The music that he plays touchs the deeper feelings of my soul man

    We all know that Michel could play his ass off, but thats not why i listen to him or why he impresses me you know?

  • nah, we should forget the music and just think about his little misshapen body with its big head :P

    joking apart, seriously class player.

  • Y'r so right - for Oscar Peterson it's the same : - when he demonstrate his Art Tatum technics and tricks - I think : Well Well -

    but when he sometimes touches just 4 notes in 7 seconds like with

    'It Ain't necesarely so'

    you feel your heart stopping

    Chick can do thatHiromi too ; Keith too but not many

    not more than 10

    and not more than 5 among amateurs youtube worldwide.

    See my page - no prentendings

  • left hand at 2.02 is pure madness.

  • Yes that's difficult

    You need TWO brains

    Itry sometimes - see my stuff

    I call them Triols

    I guess only Hiromi can really do them

  • i n c r e d i b l e ! ! !

  • Allmost as good as Schreuder !

  • It's not the 01:37 part but the

    Left Hand start at 02:02 which is so difficult even for a very skilled pianist.

    -

    And it's that that generates the super groove !

  • You said : Please Hiromi, - "Do this too?"

    No Chance

    She plays good, mostly at the end when standing

    Nobody ever ever can do that what I hear here at 02:02

    A drummer yes can do the left - but not with playing what he does with the right hand

    This isn't music anymore . . .

  • I still think She can, . . . but after some training

    and now she's just married

    and has her mind

    elsewhere

    -

    And if she could do this, .  . then It would be difficult to repeat that again

    in concerts and people would ask for it . . . risky

    -

    I think she has seen this . . . . all artists google their own name every day . . . like politiciens . . :-)

    So, Who knows what happens ..

  • Comment removed

  • I guess from your profile and your favorites you don't play

    DON'T

    TALK . . . . .

    DO IT !

  • Comment removed

  • Ok - we give you 10 years to learn that

  • ehhhhhh kiedy ja tak będę frazować...

  • Excuse moi, hein.

  • LMAO @ Sagax123, there's a vague resemblance yeah, but that's Steve Gadd should you not know it :)

  • Secondo me al grandissimo Michel gli è apparso qualche santo ad un certo punto...ed anche a me pare di ascoltarne i passi fra le note....:-)

  • do anybody know who is the bassist? I know him from another video but don't know his name. He is incredible too...

  • Anthony Jackson on bass

  • He played also with Gary Peacock

    that's terrific too

    type: in a sentimental mood

  • Hiromi is far from Michel Petrucciani

  • Secondo me il migliore in assoluto !!!

  • al sax e alla tromba chi sono? Saranno mica quelli che penso, uno con qualche chilo in meno e l'altro con i capelli...?

  • ahahaha...!!! si sono Di Battista e Boltro!!!! ke meraviglia!!!

  • Im not into Jazz music, but I must say that I´ve just seen one of the greatest musical geniuses who ever lived. I´m bowing down.

    btw, sorry for my bad english ;)

  • Why are you apologizing??...the English you just wrote is better than what a lot of Americans write on here...

  • DIOS!

  • Thanks Dziekuje Danke Spasiba .... Czy jeszcze tak ktos zagra ???

  • Bah ouais c'est vrai qu'il est balèze hein.

  • MDR C UN NIN!

  • Quel œil ! N'avoues-tu pas son immense supériorité comparé à certaines personnes ? (Je pense en particulier à Léa Castel. Au moins, lui, il joue sur un vrai piano et il fait pas que des musique pour les jeunes de notre époque :D .

  • @nouvellebelgique : c'est toi le roi!

    parce que il faut vraiment etre le roi des cons pour se moquer du physique de petruciani, personne ne lui arrives à la cheville

  • Cristo santo...

  • I cannot be sure about what you said

    but is is that

    GOD will be jealous on this Guy ??

  • Una delle migliori band in assoluto!

    Se esiste un Dio, era sul palco fra quelle note!

  • No you said

    "He has played some notes"

    YES

    I m sure

    That's why we exist ! - So that She can play some notes

    from time to time ! Nice !

    hé se my page

  • Ifind

    In a sentimental mood from him

    equal

    and there is more

    Hiromi has also these moments of : I call it "Mind on Zero" .

    I really don't know others with Oscar gone.

    Garner did it too but that was allmost not serious as if it is a Joke and it is not.

    It goosebumps all over. -

    Reason I can not stop trying this with my poor poor talent.

  • Thanks for posting!!!!! He's insane!!!  MORE!!!

  • This is Dynamite!

  • I was a fan, I tried to copy some of his riffs note by note but I was not good at all.

  • Incredible, amazing, and definitely moving... wow...

  • I know only one person on this

    entire planet who can play like that :

    HIROMI UEHARA from Japan

    -

    Myself, . . .

    I'm trying as a non-pianist to train every day

    3 or 4 notes more to learn this entirely

    because as an ancient drummer

    I feel how to do that .. . . .

  • Hiromi plays even faster and more accurate notes, but she doesn't have a soul.

  • I understand what you mean by that, but as it sounds offensive to Hiromi, . . . let's say . . . . she suffered less in her life, . . not that that is necessary - her Karma is nicer to her . . . . this is a difficult discussion because she HAS DEFINITELY the beat , the Groove, but laughs is away while Michel He Begs God to make it right with each note he pushes on that keyboard . . .

  • Well said

  • I can't read Portugese but I believe

    you said the loss of Him is Great

    Thank You

  • you meant right but the language is Italian

  • Viene da piangere ... che incommensurabile perdita Michel

  • whats the name of the piece?

  • It's Brazilian Like, but in a different tempo.
