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

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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!!!

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

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

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.

all pianos are yearning for a maestro like you

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

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.

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

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

Michel Petrucciani (RIP) repairs my frozen heart.

Genuino. Jugando con su juguete y con nosotros. Incipiente? Libre y audacísimo. Un regalo. Emite siempre con autoridad, solidez, y siempre reflejos de alegría, humor, originalidad, frescura...

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

Cuánta genialidad nos dejó este hombre. Fantástico Michel Petrucciani.

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... 😥😥😥

Im sure in the heaven one piano reserved for him

God shows us how much He loves us by letting Angels come down and play for us

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

you opened my ears, now you opened my heart.

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

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

His introduction is a work of art in itself.

SIEMPRE EN MI CORAZÓN ESTE GRAN GIGANTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GRANDE

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.

Michel Petrucciani Simply one of the best piano players

6:13 - Amazing! A really genius!

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.

this is a masterpiece in itself . the intro is so dense and intense . it brings almost tears in m y eyes. you can feel the pain michelle was suffering.

Descubro nuevos recovecos en mis oidos a traves de su maravillosa musica..!!! Grande por siempre ..!!

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

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.

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

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

Rip for ever Michel,yu gave so much to the musical world.U are among the greatest

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

Con tanto ARTE contenido en este hombre, ralmente siento que el discapacitado soy yo. Un artista GIGANTE!!!!

Le Extraordinaire Michel Petrucciani. Bravo. Merci.

確かデビューアルバムだね。このタッチに惹かれた。😃サンキュー😉👍🎶

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

A mio avviso uno dei migliori pianisti di sempre.

what a interpretation of autumn leaves! surely one of the bests I've ever heard

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

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

If I liked jazz I would adore this man. Michel cannot change my mind. Fantastic pianist.

This song has really calmed my nerves, been thinkin too much

What a monster. Sadly I will never listen to him during a concert, but this is better than nothing. I will continue to listen this in my house, in the middle of my existence crisis.

Absolutely gorgeous !!

The transition at 1:33 ....speechless.

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!

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.

Petit par la taille , très très grand pianiste de jazz et plus...super mains gauche harmonisation d'exception , Michel dommage que tu ne sois plus avec nous , tu as aussi rejoins les plus grands , j'espère que tu te prend le pied car bien entendu tu n'es pas mort et tu resteras toujours dans nos coeurs

3:33 - 4:00 is one of the most genius piano solos i have ever heard

The cover photo of the album is excellent!

sad to see such a legend pass so early.

wao wao wao wao this is one of the best versions of autumn leave i ever heard WAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOO BRAAAAAAAVVVVOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wundervoll! Was für ein Jammer, daß wir ihn so früh verloren haben...

Великий ЧЕЛОВЕК!

Michel perfectly combined Bill Evans and Oscar Peterson's characteristics in his own music.

You make my heart sing.

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

wonderful when dreaming away

Fue un verdadero genio.

just ..'wow' !! Thanks so much for sharing

absolutely floored.

Beautiful music is sometimes more than music!

Magic Michel.

Sweet with technique!! Love his style.

Thanks for uploading and Michel got almost 2 times the hits as Keith Jarrett's version.I like KJ,but like everybody else,I do have favorites.

a deeply emotional performance. Love it!

he does everything in one damn tune!

My God.. incredible.. ♥

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

Brilliant! Many overuse adjective, but he was amazingly brilliant. Sound, interpretation, such clarity, super piano skills.

Un IMMENSE génie de créativité ... Et c est en live..

soo good! Thank you for your talent.

he was playing with his heart

un virtuoso en el piano!!!!!, genial

Хрустальный гений...

Simply phenomenal!!

Pure electric magical musical joy!

Bigger than life

Simply amazing.

Solo un Dios en la Tierra como Michel puede hacer esta genialidad.

wow, this sings the life, this gets only the lonley

my goodness hear those chords!

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.

Brillante musica sutil y potente. Lo recordaremos siempre Jazz genial

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

thanks ;) it's so awesome that it sounds all the same nice stuff

Love....superb...

A familiar standard made entirely his own by Michel Petrucciani ...

Beautiful : a lot of thanks !
