Soy una Chilena admiradora de Michel Petruccini, el CD The Manhattan Project es increiblemente bueno!!! siempre lo escuchamos con mi esposo. Felicidades desde New Orleans, la ciudad del Jazz.

[DajaWaja]

hacen falta mas españoles comentando jajajja

[Zlotrov]

Michel could never be small, the only word I can associate with him is HUGE

[geokaymojo]

just seen the movie and made me see things in the positive way. such an optimistic person with a lust for life. gives u inspiration to live and achieve things without letting anything stand in your way

[fafadanjou]

Il faut savoir que le jeu de mains et la rythmique de Petrucciani étaient jugés proches de la perfection !

[LISLAMOPHOBE1]

OK , quel talent !

[MrSmoothsongwriter]

He's so in the zone like one of those shoutesr on Sunday service

[EmiDePujato]

1:41 interplay!! haha

[nobodady1]

So fine.

[equinoxranch]

In some respects, the "zenith" of this song as it were comes at 4:48. The hold on the C flat/B natural and the long pause look on his face says it all. Unreal.................. He was from another planet, glad he stopped on earth for a while.

[Yamah12a]

gadd

[perchst]

calmness

[Jellybeantiger]

Incredible pianist.



[MartinaFromPoland]

I love that piece :D the whole cd MIles Davis "kind of blue"

[tsmyd88q]

Michel. At the piano 7 feet tall!

[slyme1711]

WOW !

[xxgoalie99xx]

[DjangoVanGogh]

yeah. great stuff and the bass guitar gives it a new angle compared to other versions I've heard.

[pattjangel]

rimarrai nella storia dei grandi ciao michel

[hotfunkcooljazz]

W O W !!!!

[Erkung]

Very tasty piano play. I am floating on a modal river.

[Pilsenaaa]

I'm no musicologist but this man was a true master of a piano

[deepindercheema]

Dig how Michel shuffles his seat at 0:59. Even his arse swings in rhythm.

[KarlDaggerfield]

This sounds like a variation on Take Five in the beginning.

[atzebrechsau]

Now...Thats intense! Great intimate playing , all the 3 of them. I don´t know why but Michel plays such good melodies always, but he tries to show some balls in between as well.

The ending is pure shit. sorry

[atzebrechsau]

[deepindercheema]

Everybody loves how Michel attacks the keys at 3:00.

[parkourGumby]

~ 1:41 Michel quotes Bill Evans' "Interplay"!

[lkrisadv]

Michel tu nous manque...qu'est-ce qu'ils doivent se régaler les oreilles là haut!

[equinoxranch]

Non pareil......................

[paulostroff99]

Awesome

[billjhyt]

This is insanely beautiful!

[triondrummer]

What a weird Trio......I think Michel should have played with real Jazz Musicians...Anthony Jackson, well ok he´s form the Fusion-corner.....but hiring Steve Gadd for a Jazz-Gig.....what a shame...

[phoenixmetin2]

it's wonderful



[bbcisrubbish]

Such delicacy and feeling has to be heard to be believed. A genious.

Thank God I found this on Youtube.

[samm1809]

man michael petrucianni sure knew how to pick em!

[Ellinidara]

A true genius....

[SmoothMusicMexico]

G R E A T !

[CzechShooter]

He is brilliant!

[RobertMStFleur]

Michel is taking me to an other world with his magic touch. He is one of my favorite piano players.

[athapris]

Amazing feeling...

[chipheo24]

Great pianist! He's burried just next to Chopin in Père Lachaise cementery.

[SlyHobbit]

@chipheo24

Oh wow!!! I didn't know that. I can't think of anywhere better.

[gregtuba]

I love 2.58 so much ! These sounds are "just" some suites of 4ths... Michel used all that is possible to exploit! Simply amazing...

[gregtuba]

[gregtuba]

I love 2.58 !! simply 5ths suites ^^

Michel is fantastic !!

[giogiorn]

Musica: si fa una passeggiatina nell'anima, pulisce qualche angolo buio, qualche ragnatela. Poi, leggera come è entrata, evapora via...

[follezgump]

POTENTISSIMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[3shiftgtr]

The arpeggio stuff starting at 3:00 sounds like a guitar shredder!!!!!

[1950jimbei]

He is often compared to Bill Evans or Keith Jarrett, but I also hear quite a bit of Monk in his play. His notes/phrases are often playful, humorous, oblique, sarcastic and witty. French Esprit? "So what" is one of my fav Jazz tunes and this is definitely among the best renditions of the tune. Petrucciani WAS a genius. No doubt about that.

[arp1978]

This has something magical about it............I dunno what it is, but it has it.

[equinoxranch]

Off the Richter Scale........., beyond words.

[curiousnomad]

It's interesting that Gadd is playing brushes matched grip considering he is such a amazing rudimentally based traditional grip player.

[wolfamon]

simply awesome

[dorialt]

exactamente, cuanto sentimiento y talento eterno!

[jazzmunky]

like Jackson's 2 to the bar playing

[timemachinedrummer]

ohh love it, it is so musical

[1Orione77]

e' troppo bravo.!!

[astroscorp2]

Truly creative pianist. One of the most lyrical ones of all time.

[63Brummie]

I'll miss the little guy...he was really special AJ adds a total different tonal colour to this tune... LIKE IT!

[rBennich]

I like that he quote miles solo at 1:57

[prsguitarsr4me]

He has such a great feel --- his playing is so melodic and groovy!

[thelamb1964]

Assolutamente indescrivibile ... eterno Michel!

[thejazzofwiesbaden]

Absolutel fantastic! Very sad that Michel left us so early!

[Terzoescluso]

5:05 Fantastic

[rBennich]

wtf? the vid is only 5:03!

[Terzoescluso]

^.^

[homero0787]

Loving it!!!

[Alexmg123]

1:40 sort of Interplay theme

[jazzharmonie]

MIchel reste vivant dans sa musique ...Michel still alive

[Fili2009able]

Connected 100 % what a Jazz trio !

minute 3:50 to the end the climax of the song .

[P3AC3B0Y]

So small, so great...

[robramz23410]

This is a great version played by one of the great masters of jazz! I love it !

[nadirsharav]

Great job

[fullflap2001]

GIGANTE SIN BARRERAS...

[skuzme]

Magnificent!! they play as one instrument!! ....the brush work by the drummer is awesome!

[televasion]

merci Michel, je n'ai pleuré qu'à la mort d'un seul grand Jazzman, toi. thnx Michel I only cryied for one jazzman death, it was yours.

[alexsoko]

It's amazing to see this...I saw him playing this in 1995 in my own town it was simply incredible

[marek1904]

Po wysłuchaniu tak porywającej interpretacji "So What", trudno zdobyć się na jakikolwiek komentarz.  Słowa w tym przypadku, przynajmniej dla mnie, przestają mieć jakiekolwiek znaczenie. Górę biorą emocje, a te z kolei podpowiadają, że tak właśnie wygląda kwintesencja jazzu.

[catandpiddle]

just brilliance!

[obrsl]

That entire video is amazing, but man...isn't 4:25 extremely melodic from gadd.

[televasion]

funkcking french ;) I JOKE.

[Cazzabubbelo]

O.O 0

[SidewalkFrequencies]

pulling it right out of the air, beautifully done.

[da19lila38]

perfect rendition in Miles' spirit (at least it seems so to me)

[BibcottUnitas]

I just recently began to listen to this trio because I am a big Steve Gadd fan, now I am a big Petrucciani fan as well!

[SethyTan]

Good thing comes in small packages

[sohooded]

@SethyTan...... too bad he had to leave us so soon,

[janos44]

Mezzo broadcast this entire concert as well as a brilliant documentary on M. P. My God, what talent! What a fantastic player!

[Startac2007]

There are musical creations that are born to be jazz. In other cases the jazz players takes melodies from the common and average, made the pertinent arrangements.

"So what" it is a melody that was born to be jazz and only jazz

[neboske]

DIVINE!!!!!!!!

[clucaspik]

What amazing restraint - it perfectly matches Miles 2-chord tune. I know Hiromi would blow this tune out of the water, but there's so much that can be said for such focused musical statements like this.

[phillij1848]

I saw Michele for the first time in Buffalo NY at the Tralfamadore Cafe. The trio were all in the zone and he knocked my socks off. He was a very gifted player and perhaps not as well known as he should have been. He had plenty of great recordings including "Pianism" . He was influenced by Bill Evans among others but was all his own. RIP Michele......

[dieferri]

pardon, great Michel ...

[dieferri]

great micheal !

[FlowJazz]

1:57 ; Miles is smiling :). That's beautiful !

[rodrigozurich1950]

MICHEL RULES !!!

[Injato]

He is the best jazzpianist of all times. His solos got a sound noone else can match. Simple and melodic, yet insanly tecnicaly difficult at times. I love his music and miss him so much.. A terrible thing he is no longer with us.. Everyone should see the documentary about him!

[emiliopor]

@Injato: fully agree!!!!! 

[elensong7]

@Injato He was an incredible jazzpianist indeed ,such a great melodist and swinging musician and I really love his playing , but you can't say things like " best pianist of all time"...He's among the bests

I guess you don't have knowledges about jazz pianists from the 40's 'til now !..

[dan1880712125847]

@Injato where can i find the documentary? what is the name of that documentary?

[oledindin]

I am the owner of oledindin as well as listen and watch my videos in particular so that their names begin example, UPP:

[psychedelicjimi]

On pourrait ,bien s'en passer de miles !!!;:what a matter!!!!

[psychedelicjimi]

GENIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thesoulofbass]

thinking miles...

[Ebril]

very laid back and cool, as it should be

[darkmaides]

i really do think he's the best jazz pianist ever, argue as long as u want with me ppl but dam this guy has something the others just dont posses.

[luis0283]

It's no version of album disc trio in tokyo.....

Not is the best version.

[yuri90265]

How do you mean?

:)

[The34gl3]

lol

[mrpossibilities]

So what? :)

[luis0283]

Sorry, my English is not very good, I only say that this version is not the classical version of "So Wath" in the disc Trio in Tokyo

[luisdediegopardo]

yes it is

[Laight4work]

FANTASTIC!!
