Remembering the genius of Michel Petrucciani on his birthday.

(English / Español / Italiano)

His passion for music, laughter, love, and life never wavered, even as he endured constant suffering. In the beautiful documentary Non Stop, we see the prodigious artist in moments of joy, traveling through Paris, New York, and California with filmmaker Roger Willemsen, capturing his unique spirit. Petrucciani’s playing combined the lyricism of Keith Jarrett, the virtuosity of Oscar Peterson, and a touch of raw intensity all his own. As his friend Wayne Shorter said, “Michel never looked in the mirror to complain about what he saw… he was exceptional because he could transmit what he felt.”

La forma de tocar de Petrucciani combinaba el lirismo de Keith Jarrett, el virtuosismo de Oscar Peterson y un toque de cruda intensidad propio de él. Como dijo su amigo Wayne Shorter, "Michel nunca se miraba al espejo para quejarse de lo que veía… era excepcional porque sabía transmitir lo que sentía".

Il modo di suonare di Petrucciani combinava il lirismo di Keith Jarrett, il virtuosismo di Oscar Peterson e un tocco di cruda intensità tutto suo. Come disse il suo amico Wayne Shorter, "Michel non si è mai guardato allo specchio per lamentarsi di ciò che vedeva… era eccezionale perché riusciva a trasmettere ciò che sentiva".

1962

Michel Petrucciani is born in Orange, France. Despite suffering from a genetic condition that stunts his growth and leaves him with brittle bones, he becomes a renowned jazz pianist.

[joshhaden]

Michel Petrucciani's debut solo piano LP 100 Hearts (1984, The George Wein Collection) includes his version of my father's tune "Silence".

[schtivan-the-terrible]

I'm a really big fan of this jazz pianist Michel Petrucciani. He's so good, everything of his that I've found I've loved. Perfect background music.

Michel Petrucciani (1962 - 1999)

Uno dei più bravi, secondo me, tra i pianisti non solo jazz, che abbia mai sentito. In quanto a tecnica e pulizia, questo si ha quando un talento nato è messo nelle condizioni di fiorire. Una vita di totale sregolatezza, nel marasma della fama, ed i bagordi di ogni genere nella New York degli '80. Affetto da una rarissima malattia genetica che rese il suo corpo quasi, un ammasso di ossa e organi, ma con una mente e delle mani magiche che gli facevano suonare il pianoforte come se fosse per lui cosa naturalissima, nonostante le sue deformità e del dolore che costantemente provava, senza tregua. Posso dire con tutto il rispetto che la sua forma non era dinfatti umana, ma quanto più possa avvicinarsi al divino su questa terra.

Today in New York: the Village Vanguard

The Village has been the birthplace of many renowned jazz artists, and it continues to be a destination of choice for those seeking to experience great jazz music.The Village Vanguard is one of the most renowned and oldest jazz clubs in the city, offering exceptional live music in a intimate atmosphere since 1935.

History that you can beat around the ears of the bartender, maybe not. Better to just order a good whisky .

The Village Vanguard opened its doors on 22 February 1935. Founder Max Gordon opened the club in the basement of a wedge-shaped building on the corner of Seventh Avenue and Waverly Place. It initially provided a stage for a wide range of artists, including folk musician Pete Seeger, whose band The Weavers were the Vanguard's first employees, and the then-unknown singer Harry Belafonte. In August 1949, Mary Lou Williams played the first jazz concert there; her group shared the stage with J. C. Heard's band. From 1957, the Vanguard became a pure jazz club. The Vanguard's artists soon included musicians such as Thelonious Monk, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis and Art Blakey.

While the clubs on 52nd Street and Birdland on Broadway closed their doors from the mid-1960s onwards, the Vanguard remained a well-known jazz venue in New York. After Max Gordon's death in 1989, his wife Lorraine took over the business and ran it until her death in June 2018. Since then, her daughter Deborah has taken over the club.

Lee Konitz: The Eternal Innovator of Jazz

Introduction: The jazz world is filled with instrumentalists who have left indelible marks on the genre, but few have maintained the breadth of creative exploration throughout their careers like Lee Konitz. Born ninety-seven years ago today on October 13, 1927, in Chicago, Konitz became one of the most influential alto saxophonists in jazz history. He was a central figure in the birth of cool…

Michel Petrucciani

[rmelster]

Writing chapter two, and I am very pleased to write a character (obviously on the antagonistic side of the narration) who is utterly disgusted and revolted by what in those times was deemed as “deformity”. Because, actually, this is an underrepresented trait in villainy (and characters)! This character (who I will not name here) was the son of a doctor and grew up seeing all sorts of people coming to his father with chronic diseases and various ailings, making him disgusted at the thought of the fragility of the flesh; but “deformity” (being this mental illness or albinism, for example) to him is particularly revolting. And he lives in a boarding school with Barnabas (who has albinism), and he has such a hatred towards him that the very Barnabas described as “like a man so disgusted of a cockroach he cannot crush it with his bare hands”. Said character is so disgusted, so horrified by this that he cannot see Barnabas past his condition, and develops and obsessive mislike towards him that may be dangerous. This was an spontaneous decision, and part of it was inspired by real life experience, when I was looking at a video of a famed pianist Michel Petrucciani (legendary for being polyrhythmic) alongside my grandma, who was very uncomfortable with him having dwarfism and asked me to put other stuff. This mislike for people with a condition to the point of reducing them to a demonised version of such condition is something many people have in their mindsets, and I wanted to explore the darkest part of it with this character.
