I love his take on "My Funny Valentine." So sublime.

His story makes a person appreciate life, in all of its imperfect forms.

And it makes you want to be a little easier on yourself, you know?; ६/३/०९, ९:०० AM
The Dude म्हणाले...: Man, that is playing. Glad I saw that - had never heard of him before. Caravan is marvelous.

I was wondering how he could reach the pedals - a custom made Steinway to the rescue.

Remarkable talent overcoming handicaps that most of us will never face. What an accomplished human being.; ६/३/०९, १०:०२ AM
Kev म्हणाले...: I discovered Michel's music while I was a college radio DJ, and it was always outstanding. I knew he had some physical challenges, but I had no idea the extent of what he'd gone through.

(I'm not a big fan of political correctness, and it takes a lot to offend me, but I was none too happy with a listener who called up one time and requested a tune by "that midget piano player." I was civil about it, but I made sure that the listener knew that Petrucciani had a name and not just a disability.); ८/३/०९, १०:२० PM
