DOMi playing Oscar Peterson

I transcribed Oscar Peterson’ solo and my goal was to practice it once and then play it!! So here we go

Fact: OP fell in love with a Bosendoerfer grand piano the first time he tried it, and after that encounter, performed on them in most of his shows. The reason was not the sound, so much as it was the FEEL. Bo's are known for their incredibly clicky, 'bouncy' style of action, which tailored to OP's playing tremendously. The young lady is 'bouncing' through this piece on a Yamaha upright apartment style piano, and while all their pianos sound great, the apartment and full sized uprights have always been notorious for having a STIFFER than normal action to them, in other words - a piece like this would be much harder to play, than on a Bosendoerfer grand.
Being a professional piano player almost 40 years, I'll just speed this up and get to where I'm going: what you are seeing here is not just great. It is LEGEND.

I was feeling really good about my practice session today until I saw this.

Normally I have a very ambivalent attitude to this sort of thing. I'm 65 years old, a tutor/lecturer in music heard it all, seen it all and thoroughly jaded. Then things come along that blow you away. This is one of those moments. To dictate Oscar Peterson is fantastically difficult. To emulate playing him is similarly difficult. But here is a clear demonstration of skill talent and good playing. You can almost hear Oscar trying to break out of the piano. So hearty congratulations on both skills of listening and playing. Yes, hours of practice very evident. And a long time ago, whe I was a student of 18 years ago, I went to see the great man play at a place in Manchester England. I was shown back stage and got to meet the great man. I even shook his hands. His were very soft, I was shaking and gobsmacked. They don't make players like him any more. Well done young lady. I'm greatly impressed. Keep up the good work. Dave in Yorkshire, England.

Sat there and watched a 50 second clip. Thought about it for the next 3 minutes. The thought ended when I laughed, realized that I was literally the definition of stunned. This video is wild.

After that flawless playing of the transcription she gets up and skips like a little girl. She's such a wonderful talent.

I'm 80 and grew up on jazz. In the 50's I was listening to jazz 45s. When Rock and Roll came along I kinda made the transition. But Deep inside I was always a jazz enthusiast. This lady has sent me back to where my heart belongs. Oscar Peterson!

That Macbook has now officially been put everywhere.

You weren’t making weird noises the whole time so it doesn’t count

[mlijah]

Can we talk abt how good her fashion is just casually playing in what I can only assume to be her living room

[stencil_ized]

When the guy after which they named the Piano approves, that's when you know its good

[thebigleone]

Wow, lol Oscar Peterson said he didn’t want to intimidate other musicians, he wanted to scare them. Very well done.

Ok. I see why APESHIT signed her. She is a freaking genius.

[francisj.opolko]

If you’re a musician - then you have to applaud. Her day is spent on other things. Well done my dear!

This is just outrageous, epic page scroll at 00:23

[jamesonrichards]

She makes it look like a walk in that park. Mad props

[BiLdoEMcLown]

I'll bet my last dollar that almost no one caught that page turn. That was smooth. The playing was even smoother. Like... creamy peanut butter that's been whipped to a froth. ❤

I'm not sure what's more impressive: playing like Peterson or actually reading what he played off a score!

this is one of the best videos on the internet

If you passed this young lady on the street you would never guess she not only knows of Oscar Peterson but can also emulate him on the piano. Outstanding talent. My faith in humanity inched another notch towards restoration…

[patrickmcgowen]

That was absolutely incredible, you are an unbelievable accomplished pianist .
