petrucciani is a personality who swings at maximum who swings extraordinarily well and he has a mastery of tempo maybe, it's not right what i will say but it is right in a way he is unique like that, he does not bulge he begins to split, if you take a metronome he will always be square. his way of using his hands, of hitting the piano
as he said, "i go in, with a lot of balls" he is a great jazzman. this morning i woke up, i thought, i have to do this master class, really, i'm not trying tofish for compliments here, but i really didn't know what to say what will i say to these young people doing the same thing than me who are like me, who have the same passion as me so i told myself, who am i toarrive and start giving advice to everyone?
but in the end i am happy because, evenif i really didn't say much yet, and it is that you have to be organized, ordered, you must control your emotions. the best thing is not to use "glameurs", the sustain pedal, the harmonies like that, or the passages of notes on harmony pedals, one should try to be honest, one should try to dose all of this. we are all in it together in fact, we learn to control, to do just enough so that it works, you have to learn how to stop. when music becomes silence, it is formidable,
so it is on just that one has to work. i go in to a laboratory, trying this and that, measuring our drugs, our small magical potions, three drops of this, two drops of that... five drops of this... boom, oops, that exploded, i used too much:) so in fact, we must always check our cocktails, that's very important. the spirit of jazz is communication with others, and then it's also generosity.
because we must be generous, we must listen, we must know how to listen, then we should know how to give, and we must try to give twice what we heard. as always i would personally put slightly less pedals. but uh, that is the hardest, we all did this mistake, it's always this story of accelerator because it is true that it is practical, because we can raise our hands and put some make up on it. what i really like though, is that youhave a big confidence on the sound,
that's good, because you make the piano sound really good. the sound, i think, is at least 75 percent, it already gives music it's great color. this is very very good, you have no problem at all with that. i believe that over time you will create your own style, already your left hand is very good, at 16, i didn't have a left hand like that. that i like to repeat is that you one thing that is very important
must not focus on creating your own style. instead you must try to play like the people you love. i love bill evans, so i try to play like him, i will never be able to play exactly like him,but i try to be as close as possible. i like herbie hancock, so i try to play like him. i listen to art tatum so i try to play just like him, i listen to peterson, and ahmad jamal so i try to play as the people i love, with age, with habit, by force of circumstances, one creates a specific personality, that is to say,
a way that is your own to do this thing or that thing, here, so that has been my journey, you want us to do a duo? which song? i'm afraid the mic will fall, you guys watch it:) because today i travel a lot, you need to continue like that, there is no problems, bravo. thank you very much. today i know i am a professional, but when i play it is always for pleasure,
my music is free, i get paid to travel and packing your bags every day is a difficult thing to do. but for playing, no, for playing, it is always a delight.
