I'm maybe wrong, but i don't have memory about the fact he gave any private lesson. about his advices, they are common ones, and given by all "good" teachers. I told the same to my students, and the same has been told to me by my jazz piano teacher. Teachers telling anything else or acting differently must be fired lol.
J'ai été à un de se master class,c'était tout simplement extraordinaire...Je sortais de l'accompagnement de Rhoda Scott à la batterie ,..... Cette grande dame organiste, j'aurais aimé jouer avec Michel aussi , mais malheureusement il est parti avant de ce monde ...j'en ai pleuré...quel grand bonhomme tant musicalement que humainement....Un mélodiste fantastique......Michel joue avec les Anges maintenant...
His comments at 9.40 on learning by trying to play like the pianists you love is spot on. I am no musician, but as an Illustrator, I spent years doing the same thing. Being obsessed by others and trying to work out how they expressed themselves stylistically. With time your own voice develops through the synthesis of this research. Petrucciani was an immense source of wealth to so many, putting aside the major disabilities he had to overcome, he was a great pianist first and foremost. R.I.P
Let me chime in on the music side and completely agree! I used to think that artists were somehow conjuring all their great works out of a void, but it was only until I became an artist myself I saw how much Petrucciani's words resonated. Each artist is a sum total of all their influences that came before them, with our voice being the final +1. If anything, I see things now as one large tree and each artist is a new branch.
Michel était le meilleur... Quelle classe. Son concert 1998 Stuttgart ou son clip de Looking up et aussi la rencontre avec S. Grappelli, c'était simplement génial. Et maintenant près de F. Chopin pour l'éternité...
quand un maître comme ça s'exprime, on écoute la moindre de ses phrases ! même quand il se tait on l'écoute !...surtout si il joue ! ! ! il nous manque...
Incredible! Where have I been that I've never heard of him until today? He was a master of Jazz. His expression was so pure and soulful. Man... He's now in my top 5 of favorite jazz pianists.
What a privilege it must be to have sat and played with him,and had an interchange of musical ideas.One time my friend Jerry Lavene and I, sat and played guitar with the late great Tal Farlow for 6 hours.He told us of a gig he did with Michel Petrucciani.He was blown away by Michel's playing,and it was their first time gigging together.Tal loved playing in France ,and he said the people were so very nice to him.
es un verdadero deleite. estoy conociendo hoy a este pianista tan maravilloso. lastima que tuvo tan corta vida y gracias a dios por permitirme haberlo conocido.
Damn. I've been stressing about my technique at the piano, and watching and listening to Petrucciani made me realize that anyone can get as good as they want to be (or proud of being) if they only take the time to get it right as it feels right. Then, I worried that I wouldn't know how to put all these pieces of jazz improvisation together at all (I am very new to jazz, and played classical for 5 years, starting piano at 20 years old), and he just reminded me that it's all about love. Learn from the players that you love, because that's what music is. Love. Once you have your heart in it, your personality can't help but come out. Thank you for the upload.
I started piano very late (15) and stopped at 21 due to healt issue, you can see what i still do on my website at didiermartini.com I took 3 years of Jazz piano lesson with an amazing teacher. I learned , i'll tell 80 to 90% everything from self teaching, but he learned me some key point which pointed me right in the right decisions. Piano and jazz is, well, yes, love and passion. of course it's not enough, but if you love something, you'll put everything in it to achieve what you want.a LOT LOT LOT of passion, and discipline ! I always tell that Jazz is not a "style of music", but a way to live ! a way of life ! when i studied jazz, i was getting up in the morning and thinking about it, until at night when i went to bed. and even there, i was putting my "walkman" and was still listening until i sleep. when i was in the street i was thinking about drumming, rythm ! My day was dedicated to music, and everything else, (school etc) I didn't care. it's a way of life. but like with everything it need as well a good discipline. it's not the key point but one of them. If you love something you'll do everything you can for it/him/her. it's the same with music. it's a way of life ! the issue with classical music when you want to study and learn to play jazz is that you must almost unlearn everything your learned, and learn EVEN more but not in the same area.
this video makes me want to stop playing for a while. i need to listen and transcribe and listen and learn by ear and transcribe more. it's hard work but it pays off.
Le toucher percutant de Petrucciani, sa générosité, sa présence, sa précision rythmique incroyable ...Beaucoup de métronomes ont démissionnés! Merci pour cette vidéo qui montre si bien tout ça!
J'ai eu enormement de chance de tomber dessus totalement par hasard en zappant, j'ai hélas loupé les 20 premieres minutes ... j'essaye de me dire que c'est mieux que rien, mais bon... (j'ai étudié pas mal la musique de michel au piano (j'ai ressorti sa partition "note per note" ya pas trés longtemps)
thank you alot for the subtitles Ivanovan88! :) and thx to martyprod2 for uploading this great video. lucky guys who had the chance to play with and learn from one of the greatest artists the earth ever had!
Oui, "One day my prince will come" is "Un jour mon prince viendra" in French. That's what he said. The order of the words in the sentence is, in this case, the same. Regards.
Interesting how he says NOT to try to develop your own style, but learn from the masters that we love. Then, our own style comes forth over time! I really see that to be truth. It's like trying to discredit the pioneers will do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for our originality, because we assume that if it were us at the beginning, we would have it all figured out... Absurdity in its purest form!
+pianOracle I learned the same as well during my path as a pianist. learning from our masters, and then, it will came ... i met during my studying some people who didn't agree with that, and wanted at start to be original and not learning from anybody, and the result ? well, they have absolutly no originality at all. and some of these people are seen as "very good musicians" here. one of them even played with some celebrities (Randy Brecker etc ...)
+martyprod2 Right. In fact, they lack vocabulary many times. It's like trying to be a master poet, but not wanting to learn the actual language you recite in! People will be inclined to ask you "What are you saying???"
Richard Rogers said (as to composing) there are two paths: (1) learn everything that has been done, and do not that, or (2) ignore it all, and do what you do. I (Jeff) say that the real trick is to do both.

Le Pélo à 16 ans c'est un tueur. Et t'imagine, Petrucciani y te dis c'est, parfait. Ca me ferait chier parce que je serais venu là pour progresser et avoir des conseilles.
Tu as vu comme il dit au jeune de 16 ans « ah bein c’est parfait, rien à dire ». Tu imagines l’impacte que ça a quand le maître te dis ça. Incroyable pianiste.
Listen to his interpretation of “caravan”, especially the one 15 years ago (“Varga Tivadar, music official” on YT, where he has a red sweater and white pants.) Never heard a better one even from Thelonius Monk. So good. I think he adds a touch of French elegance to his jazz.
Michel est très généreux dans ses explications et très juste. Ce jeune musicien a casquette a un très brillant avenir. Il semblait tellement heureux et honoré de jouer avec le très grand Michel Petrucciani. Quel est son nom?
He says like I always say to people that hire - The Music is Free. You're paying for my practice time to get to where I am, my travel, and hassle. The Music? That's Free.
Hi, martyprod2... Today, September 29th, I'm watching this video with no subtitles. I, myself, am a Petrucciani fan jazz musician, but also a professional subtitler... Don't see any subtitles here, but I'd love to subtitle this video into Spanish...
Le morceau à 3:00 et quelques c'est "Straight No Chaser" il me semble, en tout cas la ligne de violon m'y fait penser... "Essayer de jouer comme les gens qu'on aime (...) "les écouter/étudier le plus possible "et avec le temps on développe sa propre personalité": Art Tatum, Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson, Herbie Hancock, Ahmad Jamal...
If this dude does not look like a young Josh Hartnett, playing the "Someday My Prince Will Come" duet, please have my eyes donated to a more worthy candidate. Thank you. Nonetheless, the 'kid' is as gifted as hell!
I don't know French. I am ignorant here. They are playing a 12 bar blues in swing time. The violin was playing the head to "Straight No Chaser." Blue Bossa with good time and lines the young man with the hat on backwards sounds good. Okay I'm gone because I don't know what they are saying.
the difference between "tall and good lookin'" :mechanical. and "short and soulful".. master, in all aspects of his playing. and at 6:00 . so funny. he closes the lid!! "that's about all i can take of THAT." hat backwards boy. again, all chops, no feel. i thinks that's what he said, too.

bonjour!! oui , en effet nous travaillons avec François :)
Héhé oui il m'a dit depuis ;) Marrant, le monde est petit ! bienvenue ici en tout cas :).
bienvenu également!!!
Comment ne pas aimé ,aussi une nouvelle génération de pianiste exceptionnel .
Two words, Thank You.
I have nothing else to say, but it looks supreme enough to perform.
Tout est humilité et passion dans le Maître
Bravo! Maestro Michel! Wow! You aré so talented!
michel genius no doubt.great post.the students done good also.they did well not to wither in the presence of this giant.great stuff this is.many thanks.
Bravo MICHEL , Bravo à TOUS et MERCI .
Quelle fierté de s entendre dire par le maître qu on a une meilleure main gauche que lui même à 16 ans....Remarquable! Extra!
ce serait passionnant de visualiser toute cette émission de la cinq "le grand conservatoire" avec Michel!. je l'attends de pied ferme!
desolé, mais hélas, je n'ai capté que la fin de l'émission :(
God bless that man!
Thanks for the subtitles!
You're welcome ! thanks to ivonanan who did them too !
How do you get the subtitles? Thanks God loves you deeply 🏞️⛰️🏔️🎉🎊✨🎇🎆🎈🐕

:49 Michael is thinking to himself "and that's how it's done, son." haha
Thanks a lot..it's really interesting..
la ultima pieza me conmovio , vi esa sensacion de inmortalidad de segundos brotar de el rostro del joven al tocar junto a un mmaestro
What a GIANT!!!!!!!
Michel est très généreux dans ses explications et très juste.
Ce jeune musicien a casquette a un très brillant avenir.

Voici le nom du jeune pianiste à l'époque: Ludovic Allainmat
merci ! il est très intéressant !
Thanks!
Like in Poetry or any Art you learn from the masters then if you are not a Parrot you will have your own style not to worry play with LOVE!

Non mais jouer comme ça à 16 ans.
Как же он крут, черт побери
ага
I don't know French. I am ignorant here. They are playing a 12 bar blues in swing time. The violin was playing the head to "Straight No Chaser." Blue Bossa with good time and lines the young man with the hat on backwards sounds good. Okay I'm gone because I don't know what they are saying.
AWesome:-)

Good

what a chance !!! ;-)
which piece did you play ? did you play together ?
the difference between "tall and good lookin'" :mechanical. and "short and soulful".. master, in all aspects of his playing. and at 6:00 . so funny. he closes the lid!! "that's about all i can take of THAT." hat backwards boy. again, all chops, no feel. i thinks that's what he said, too.
