- Michel Petrucciani came from an Italo-French family with a musical background. Michel was born with osteogenesis imperfecta, which is a genetic disease that causes brittle bones and in his case short stature.
At an early age he became an enthusiast of Duke Ellington and wished to become a pianist like him. Although he trained for years as a classical pianist, jazz remained his main interest. He gave his first professional concert at the age of 13. At this point of his life he was still quite fragile and had to be carried to and from the piano. His size meant that he required aids to reach the piano's pedals, but his hands were average in length.
By the age of 18 he was part of a successful trio. He moved to the US in 1982, where he successfully encouraged Charles Lloyd to resume playing actively.
In 1986 Petrucciani recorded a live album with Wayne Shorter and Jim Hall. He also played with diverse figures in the US jazz scene including Dizzy Gillespie.
In 1994 he was granted a Légion d'honneur in Paris.
His own style was initially influenced by Bill Evans although some compare him to Keith Jarrett. He is often deemed to be among the best jazz pianists.
Michel Petrucciani died just after his 36th birthday from a pulmonary infection. He was interred in Le Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris. - Krátké a kreslené filmy

Merci merci michel
Jazz is alive and well, but my favorite pianists still are Erroll Garner, Earl Hines, Michel Petrucciani, Oscar Peterson, and Art Tatum. My hope for Michel is that he accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior before he died.
