Seven Transcendent Minutes

Cantabile -- seven transcendent minutes by the great Michel Petrucciani.

“Music is the space between the notes” – Claude Debussy. This quote comes to mind when you hear Cantabile.

Michel Petrucciani (28 December 1962, Orange, Vaucluse, France – 6 January 1999, New York City, USA) was a French jazz pianist. From birth he had osteogenesis imperfecta, a genetic disease that causes brittle bones and, in his case, short stature, he became one of the most accomplished jazz pianists of his generation despite having arms that caused him pain.

That was really awesome! When something that great lives inside you, you will do whatever it takes to let it all out. This is a case of doing what you love regardless of your situation. Pursue your dream with everything you've got. What an inspiration. Smile

"The “jumpers” reminded us that one day we will all face only one choice and that is how we will die, not how we will live." Chris Hedges on 9/11

Now that is transcendent, thanks for bringing it.
