His music was a timeless magic, it seemed to come straight from his soul. All those who had the fortune to meet him still rave about his insatiable hunger for life. He was a man full of surprises, not only because of his physical appearance, but especially because of his outstanding musical talent. He had the ability to effortlessly travel through the history of jazz on his piano, wowing his audience in the process. He sold more records than many of his idols and played in the biggest concert halls of the world. Born with a brittle bone disease which resulted in a stature of less than a meter tall, he became an internationally known jazz artist. He played his first concert when he was 13 years old, and would go on to play with most of the world\u00b4s best jazz musicians. In \u201cMichel Petrucciani: A life against time\u201d we meet people who supported him throughout his life \u2013 including his family, Charles Lloyd, Aldo Romano and Roger Willemsen. They narrate the remarkable story of a man who was driven by an insatiable hunger for life and tried everything it had to offer: travelling, women, drugs and his art. A natural talent who overcame his disability and became a true music giant.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; disable_custom_paddings_mobile=&#8221;true&#8221;
