17yo DOMi sight reading Cory Henry's solo on Lingus by Snarky Puppy 

Respect for the guy playing the same thing for 7 mins

She reads music better than i read my native language.

just imagine improvising a solo for 6 minutes straight and making each note feel essential

She read that transcription perfectly, and THEN she went OFF on her own solo. Geezus, the sheer talent.

I’m struck by how cool this solo sounds on piano even without any synth sounds

It's that time in history when an improvisation becomes a hymn.

I believe this is the first time she is trying to play it, but obviously she has heard it many times before

The capacity of humans continues to astound me. She was raised on the internet, learning both classical and jazz through lessons and self study on youtube, only went to ONE WEEK of kindergarten and otherwise home/internet schooled for traditional education and conservatory schooled early. This is what a human can be when structured and motivated and gifted and unshackled to focus on one craft early on. Astounding. She is astounding but even more astounding is that, given similar structures, many humans have this capacity. It is a new era. Since DOMi hit the scene until now there has been a steady stream of exceptional young players popping up. And, Yes, she did sight read this but also she knew the solo having heard it before who knows how many times. Her solo stuff at age 16 is so mature. Her music now, age 18/19, is so funky - like a new layer of the stratosphere is now occupied. Focus on the original goal girl. Don't go down any number of holes around you.

I remember seeing this video two years ago on Instagram and I was like "that's damn impressive" but never made the connection with DOMi until now. Now everything makes sense!

Far out that guy playing the bass part was frickin awesome - BLEW MY MIND

Is she the greatest piano prodigy alive? Quite possibly. Is she the coolest with the vibiest range of styles and feels? No question. Ever. Of all time.

So this vid popped up on my feed and when I read the title, I was like “psh, yeah right!”. I’ve watched the Lingus vid like a 100x and all I can say is, she effing nailed that. PLUS, the sick improv at the end. Mad props and respect to her!

I'm over here struggling with 8th rests

- Hats off to her for her amazing talent, a beautiful reproduction and badass ad lib at the end. - 2 hats off to Cory Henry for immortalizing himself with a once in a lifetime solo that people will be trying to reproduce forever!

Cory Henry is already an anomaly, in the best sense. But this young lady has major chops! Hats off to her "rhythm-pianist!"

That improv at the end was fantastic

Holy shit. When I commented on the earlier video that I hope you post more stuff to this channel, I wasn't expecting to get something completely insane like this. The last 2 minutes of this, which as far as I can tell, are not part of the original song and are totally improvised "in the style of" Cory, are just... wow. Sight reading the whole damn solo is impressive enough... extending it for 2 whole minutes is a whole other thing.

2:14 on, nailed it. I got the same sensation as when hearing Mr Henry perform it. This is some high level brain processing. V, nice work.

I've just noticed that she is Domi.. i watched this two years ago 😅 insane !!

God damn that is amazing. Also credits to the guy that transcripted that whole thing

I refuse to believe this is sight read 😂 too amazing

I amazed at how many people think they gotta quit playing music after this. You either are a musician or not, and musicians don't damn quit when they hear another.

the guy looks more like he’s sight reading

Cory improvised that on the spot. DOMi sight read it on the spot. Both things are very impressive in thei own way.

She's such a good sight reader. This brings what I read about Paganini to mind. He used to tour a lot and his reputation preceded him, so he'd often find some smart ass who would present him with a black page to sight read. This girl is a true musician.

I saw this video a few years ago but I'm only now realising DOMi is in it, having discovered JD Beck and her in the meantime.

Gives me goosebumps even when someone else plays it!

The improv at the end was so good. woah.

It took me 5 hours to watch this video all the way through! How... Just How? It was one to see Cory do it. But to see her redo it damn near perfectly was just as impressive.

If Keith Jarrett's "Facing You" had an offspring, this would be it.

She's going to do great! She's absolutely fluent! She's got REAL talent to interpret the music as well! LOVE her own solo!

Going back and watching this after her first album is out!!!! Having a blast DOMi rocks dude

Sight reading something like this is incredibly difficult, and I know my classical homies who are amazing sight readers couldn't do it simply because of the rhythmic intricacies

UNREAL. I'm floored.

Sightreading is amazing! Big band $40 gig coming on

beautifull.great solo melody icredible

That's ridiculously impressive to sight-read something so harmonically complex and rhythmically challenging at near speed...and finding that fingering on the fly? As an atrocious sight-reader this is amazing to me

5:58 Its wednesday my dudes

I watched this before I knew who DOMi was lol i'm coming back to this literally 2 years later after watching all the JD/DOMi shit... it all makes sense now. Love you DOMi! You're a badass.

I must say I got a bit teary eyed watching this.

Oh damn, this is DOMi. I saw this way before she did her stuff with Louis Cole. Neat!

Cory Henry should be proud watching this!

That's phenomenal, I didn't imagine anyone being able to copy that! Amazing playing!

Scary reading skills. So impressive

Fucking hell! Sorry for my cursing but boy does this performance sound jazz as hell. The left hand ostinato doesn't waver one bit, the right hand plays the multitude of odd subdivided phrasing with a wonderful swing. This doesn't sound like assimilation of transcribed work, it sounds like it is the first time it's being played! This is a performance and not a cover! Absolutely phenomenal! Incredible musicianship with an astonishing ability to recreate the original performance. I watched expecting to enjoy a difficult covering of the ostinato with the solo phrasing but enjoyed the wholly new experience this performance is of itself. I mean this truly. Amazing!!!

This is as good as that live studio cover. You know which one i'm talking about.

Sight reading. SIGHT READING. Insanity. So impressive. I don’t know what to do with my hands.

I involuntarily visualized a very well defined picture of a most hilarious face at a 3:19.

We just need Larnell in there! ;)

wait, thats illegal!

the groove is just so... hummmm nothing can describe so joy-full for the brain...

the part at 2:57 just sounds so crazy on piano

Please keep playing music forever

My jaw was dropped the entire time!!!!!

Woooow. Kirkland all over in those last two minutes. Great job.

Hats off to Cory Henry for the phenomenal solo. But to you young lady, this is another level of beasting....the chops and fills at the ending part shows not only your ability to follow, but to take initiative and formulate something unique to you as it arises. Kudis

I am a pianist, and I am left absolutely stunned by her abilities. I am a person who sees a color-shape for each note. I learned to play by hearing, and although I tried music school, I could not learn to read music. If I want to play, say , a Bach or Mozart I simply follow the notes one-by-one for a few days until I internalize the piece. Then I just perform it from memory. Thank God for Mrs. Domi and that we have this type of musicianship among our young people here in 2023. // I’d like to share one of my performances that shows me playing by following the colors of each chord in my head. In Domi’s case she is reading the literal written melody from the page. In my case I am pulling the melody out of my head while I follow the colorings of the chords from my Musicolor Matrix charts. Here is that performance of a song from The Smiths: I'm not a virtuoso. I play to accompany and bring-out a melody. But here is an example of how, rather than sight read, I play the melody from my head, as well as the chord chord structures which i read from my color chart; my Musicolor Matrix. Here is a quick video i made of this performance: . ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ao2aXc_UxfQ.html

Whether she's Reading that transcription(probably more likely) or Sight Reading (probably unlikely, as she might've transcribed the solo herself ), it is very very awesome. She and JD Beck are moving the music forward as far as I'm concerned. Not only awesome musicians but important ones, too.

Absolute perfection.

People like her inspire me... To realize I just don't have what it takes to be a pro musician. I'll settle for being a fan.

I greatly admire sight reading skills. While my reading is painfully slow, I've written out parts for good readers and it's such a joy to not have to go over things and just hear back what you wanted from them. I'm not sure where this transcription came from but the right hand part is monophonic. While there are slurs, there are no two or more note parts on the solo synth. Also while she plays some of the unison single line parts, except for a couple places she omits the left hand chords. Now think all this up on the fly instead of having it written in front of you. While Cory may have had some structure and harmonic ideas going into this, it is entirely improvised. There are other videos of previous takes and the solo is substantially different. In one, he has the solo synth on the Hammond and plays the left hand parts on the organ. Then deal with adjusting an analog synth to tailor the sound for the growth of the solo. And things like remembering to hit the sustain pedal on the lower synth for a second so he can work the vibrato controller on the solo synth. Many reasons why this will go down as a landmark jazz improvisation.

If feel she could come up with her own solo on top on this song and it would be equally amazing as Corey Henry's.

when your little brother's messing with the keys while you're playing

Crazy stuff in here! Hope to have more of it. Also to have a chance listen it live in Europe in the near future.

I’m that guy who’s recording and cheering her at back coz I can’t play shit because of my lasy ass . This is a treat to my ears

A lot of this wasn't being read on the fly. She's looking at her hands most of the time... so this is mainly being done through memorization. Still extremely impressive...

Undeniably great. ❤

Hearing this on a piano helped my amatuer musical brain understand Corey's solo more. Mad skills. Mint sauce 🔥😎

The 100 people who disliked this are people who don't know the notes on a piano

It's a lot playing this on an acoustic piano rather than a synthesizer. Thumbs up Domi.

Domi is damn good For someone to sight read Cory Henry’s improvisation and play it this good

Thumbs up for talent, thumbs down for lying! Therefore no vote.

That’s tearing it up.

That run at 1:18 is crazzzzzzy

So many years with musicians who had nothing to say--and now Domi and Snarky Puppy and Ghost-note. Ahhhh.

who ARE you??? what PLANET?? that's impossible. TEACH ME!!! PLEASE!!!!!!! you're beyond good.

This is great! Title's a big misleading though. There are large segments where she's clearly not even looking at the music.

absolutely amazing reader.

The fact that this caption is real is almost unfathomable

A wrestler once opined he had “talent on loan from God.” Clearly so does Domi.

She is one of my favorite

Oh my... I'm speechless ! :O *Or, as the guy at 05:57 perfectly said: F**********ck ! 😂

Damn..she nailed it She dropped it like a piece of cake

I call bullsh*t that any of that is written on that iPad as manuscript. But DOMi is a goddess and Cory is god… and I’ll never let you tell me otherwise.

Freaking mind blowing. Dislike peeps on this video truly don't know how to appreciate this kind of talent.

Could you imagine being the kid waiting to use this practice room so you can practice your major scales?

I'm hooked. DOMi is amazing!

Domi is not a normal average musician. Her brain is extremely developed for the musical skills. Listen to her Franz Liszt concert, she was 14. If she caneras Lizst chart she can read Cory. She is just a genius, isn’t what virtuosos are? Note go from her eyes to her fingers straight, she doesn’t read notes she sees entire bars in a blink and process them instantaneously.

Absolutely amazing performance!

Domi is just ridiculous good. Practice + practice + some more practice.. sleep.. wake.. practice. Oh yeah, time to practice.

This girl has a future, she's probably going to be teaming up with a guy named JD, a sick American drummer kid.

This girl is crazy nice with thez keys.

Génial ! Bellissimo. Magnifique solo a la fin

I really miss the drums in this

Wow, I'm speechless! Masterfully done!!!!

In rock climbing we'd call that an "on sight flash"

She did an amazing job!!!!! I won’t second guess her about the sight reading part. Maybe she’s actually that good at sight reading. I just find it a lil hard to believe. Either way, she and her rhythm section piano player did amazing!!!!

Nailed it

Shoot girl!!!!! YEA!!!! That’s all you after like 5:30 right??
