Born:
Piano virtuoso Michel Petrucciani was born on December 28th 1962 in Orange France to Italian parents. He grew up surrounded by music as his father was a guitarist and his brothers were a bassist and a guitarist. He discovered the piano very young and one of his early influences was Duke Ellington. Because he was born with osteogenesis imperfecta; a condition that stunts growth and causes fragile bones and respiratory disorders, he had to have special extensions made for him to reach the pedals of the piano. The condition did not affect his hands, however, and he was able to study classical piano for 8 years

Michel Petrucciani: Kuumbwa
by Stefano Merighi
Alla fine del suo ricordo personale, contenuto nel libretto di questo doppio album, Enrico Pieranunzi si rammarica di come, in qualche modo, Michel Petrucciani sia stato dimenticato dal mondo del jazz. Il mondo a cui aveva donato tutto se stesso. Escluso da una vita “regolare," condannato dall'osteogenesi imperfecta a far convivere intelligenza e sensibilità sopraffine in ...
