he had it all, soul,heart, technique, harmony, beautiful melodically, innovation, composer..if i missed anything he definitely had it ..rest in peace🙏💔🎶
You put this little man in front of a piano and he becomes a giant. One of the most inspirational pieces I've ever had the pleasure to interpret in my 40 years of playing the piano.
this little man was one of the greatest of all. His fingers were breaking when playing !! I'm almost crying each time i'm listening to his music.. RIP and timeless respect
Michael hated to say goodbye! He didn't have to, he can never be forgotten, neither his strong clear strong piano playing nor his humble personality. Just reading through all the comments shows how many different emotions he was capable of conveying from a dimension of its own. This melody is eternal and I just play it and play it and…. RIP Michael.
This music video of Michel Petruciani playing looking up is an awesome combination of beauty. I know I have watched it hundreds of times now, and I always look forward to hearing it every day. Thank you Michel Petruciani, you were a gift to the world of music, and you are truly missed.
j'ai dû l'écouter des centaines et des centaines de fois, je la connais par coeur et c'est comme à la première fois, toujours plus en admiration totale...
You make my heart sing, put things into perspective. Make me realise, just how wonderful life is, and can be. I miss you friend, and always will. Rest in peace. Where ever you may be.
Безмерно уважаю этого Человека!!! Цените жизнь, как ценил ее он! Добивайтесь успехов, которых достиг Он! Светлая память тебе, Мишель! Immensely respect this man! Appreciate life, as he appreciated it! Fond memory you, Michel!
Just moving and beautiful! I had the enormous pleasure to see Michel Petrucciani in Hamburg in Roger Willemsen’s talk show , as a kind of his musical side kick, WILLEMSENS WOCHE.
A l'Olympia (Paris), quand il arrive sur scène, l'immense émotion du public et un concert extraordinaire, le final, l'ovation puis son départ devant nous tous, médusés ! Ah , C'était incroyable...
When I first saw Petrucciani before hearing him play, I thought he is just another one of those guys that get extra credit from people just because he's disabled. Boy was I wrong. Petrucciani was a man of profound musical genius.
quelle magnifique version studio de Looking up !!!! Il faudra des siècles avant de retrouver un Michel de cette classe, où peut-être jamais... C'est beau et c'est con la vie...
guardando in alto e alzando gli occhi al cielo, le melodie di Michel . La via lattea come la tastiera del tuo steinway. La tua musica corre nell'immensita' ed io vorrei essere li' con te.
This composition just wrapped around my head, heart and soul, the first time I heard it. It is so stunningly beautiful and we feel blessed that Michel gave the world so much. I feel humbled to have witnessed him perform twice 👍❤️
Just discovered this amazing artist, Michel Petrucciani, purely by accident, or was it fate? I was turning the radio dial and heard Renato Carosone performing Tu Voi Fare L' Americano, so I naturally stopped to enjoy. At the break, the DJ stated he was featuring famous Italian pianists. He described the next artist, Michel Petrucciani as French born but of Italian parents. He played Looking Up and I immediately fell in love with it. I used to be a big jazz fan, especially of upbeat and Brazilian jazz. This song immediately reminded me of Spyro Gyra. Now that I am exploring Michel Petrucciani, I am in awe. What a talent and a gift to all of us. So sad that he had such a difficult life, but so happy for him that he was able to live out his passion throughout his brief life of 36 years.
Michel, plus grand que les buildings newyorkais, le meilleur de tous. La chance de l'avoir vu en concert, génial et quelle immense tristesse qu'il ne soit plus avec nous, mais juste à côté de Frédéric Chopin au cimetière du Père Lachaise à Paris... RIP Michel.
I once heard his solo piano concert in my hometown, Helsinki. It was really incredible - I truly admire and respect this man. Thank you for your life work. R.I.P.
You are my hero. Because, I have a rare disease and I want to be a jazz pianist. When I think about give up playing piano. Always I get a new power from you. If I can meet you.. thank you michel
Most optimistic tune ever
he had it all, soul,heart, technique, harmony, beautiful melodically, innovation, composer..if i missed anything he definitely had it ..rest in peace🙏💔🎶
This little man gave as a lesson: Live your life!
It's about joy. It's about life. It's about living it to the fullest...and he did! God bless him.
Had to watch it and cry again... He was really something ...
a mix of nostalgy and happiness , signature of a great musician
“When I play, I play with my heart and my head and my spirit… I don’t play to people’s heads, but to their hearts." - Michel Petrucciani
You put this little man in front of a piano and he becomes a giant. One of the most inspirational pieces I've ever had the pleasure to interpret in my 40 years of playing the piano.
...and his giant shadow covers all others...gone way too soon!
@@moonstar7775 YES!
I would absolutely love to hear someone else play this tune.
Hard not to make the giant analogy - mind-blowing - glad you're as happy as me. Not a thing that I face can't be put right by this tune alone.
this little man was one of the greatest of all. His fingers were breaking when playing !!
I'm almost crying each time i'm listening to his music..
RIP and timeless respect
Ahhh
I do
A chi riesce donare la felicità ha il diritto a l' eternità...
Michel, I will never stop missing you. Your power and extraordinary talent were unmatched.. 💖💖
everytime i hear this it touches me deeply inside. i wish You women, wine and many songs up there. . . Yours. NB / Vienna
Magnifique et regretté Michel Petrucciani
Thanks to God, that there was great Michel Petrucciani

"When I play, I play with my heart and my head and my spirit… I don't play to people's heads, but to their hearts."
Same..

Wiping like a kid...small man - massive output
I feel so sad for people who wouldn't cry for Michel's music.
I've replayed this track countless times - it really is a fantastic piece of music that tugs on the heart strings.
Yes it does!
It conveys the freedom, space and a lot of desire to travel
These melodies, New York, Michel faces.. perfect
One of the brilliant minds of music history. This is my favorite song. A real teacher of life and music.
This song and performance always puts me in a good mood!!! We miss you Michel!!

just brilliant!
After 100 ´s of viewings this is still as beautiful and inspiring as always.The perfect mix of music with amazing cinematography.
Those who dislike this kind of music are completely deaf ! Just Magic!!!
We must pity those who cannot see and hear the magic in Michel's music. He was magnificent!
Great artist!
I never forget we saw him play @ the Tuch.
And you Bob
I love you,Michel.
I'm so happy living with your music.
from Tokyo
Amazing Pianist
What a wonderful sound--would have loved to have met him and shared the music!
Beautiful.... :')
A l'Olympia (Paris), quand il arrive sur scène, l'immense émotion du public et un concert extraordinaire, le final, l'ovation puis son départ devant nous tous, médusés ! Ah , C'était incroyable...
This music would make the world happy...So, everybody, just listen this music. Thanks Michel for the happiness that you bring thru the music.
superbe morceau pour un super petit bonhome !
The best - Thank’s Michel
Wow!... Yeah... Words fail me...
Caro Michelino, sei un patrimonio dell'umanità !
Dear Michaelino, you are a patrimony of humanity !
When I first saw Petrucciani before hearing him play, I thought he is just another one of those guys that get extra credit from people just because he's disabled. Boy was I wrong. Petrucciani was a man of profound musical genius.
The most exquisite jazz of Michel Petruciani, set to amazing cinematography. This is an awesome work of art.
Grandissimo Michel!!!
FABULEUX

I agree: he has is a giant at the piano. Truly great. His music will live for decades. RIP to a man that brought us joy but left to early.
Grande , Maravilloso . UNICO . Gracias Maestro por tanto.

Only his father was Italian, his mother was French
miss him
Magnífico como siempre
Michel Petrucciani & Roger Willemsen Rest in peace - Posting since 2009
A little man with a giant talent.
