We're definitely keeping it alive. It's just that greatly talented musicians are overshadowed by video game streamers and "hot chicks" dancing on TikTok. 😑 Hard work and musical talent will always be more rewarding than unfettered self-indulgence. 👍
@@Dudeface167 You're right in that it's dead in the eyes of the general public - but not among musicians. Jazz was only really "alive" for a short time - from the 1920's to the mid-1960's - and yeah, it's definitely "dead" in the sense that it hasn't been popular since then. It's had its revivals, but they've always been within communities of musicians. Today the average person mostly thinks of jazz as background music to play at a dinner party. Also, the common person's definition of jazz is so skewed. Basically Norah Jones and whatever "jazz" comes up on a playlist. Yep...I'm one of "those guys." 🤣lmao
It's very nice to see young artists pick up the torch of timeless music and carry it forward... while, hopefully, adding their very own flavors and passing that along. Bravo!!
@@zdave6083 might as well say we drop Charlie Christian just because Herb Ellis came along. Great playing, 71, trying for half a century to sound half this good .
She's so in the zone it's like she becomes one with the instrument. That light touch on the fretting hand is mind blowing to me. I don't think I've seen anyone as comfortable and relaxed looking when they're playing a piece like this. Amazing. Cheers young lady.
Very nice, swings, interesting lines, beautiful horn like phrasing, what’s not to like? Coming from a 68 year old jazz fan of 52 years, I approve whole heartedly.
Glad someone noticed horn like phrasing. Something I tell new guitarist when they ask about playing lead or the head. Listen to horn players. Their pauses for breath bring a very organic, human voice to playing. Rather than a endless string of notes, pause, breath.
this woman is playin technica, precise jazzz, l on a guitar without the "soo fun" smiles n appeal. thank you. seriously. refreshing. genius. authentic. straight, no chaser.
Wonderful!!! I thought “wow she memorized this transcription” and the realized you’ve just got it dialed!! More power and much success and happiness to you 🎶
The world needs more Monk! Thanks so much for keeping his genius alive. Have you thought about doing a recording focusing on your transcriptions of his works?
Brilliant! I've been a Jazz & Blues musician for over 40 years, & all I got to say is please keep playing & performing such extraordinarily inspired & brilliantly played music! Brilliant musicianship! ~ Greg Gordon 🎵
Your set list is incredible. Your ready for a dinner jazz club now. I think guitar tone comes from the fingers and you have such a nice light touch, sounds wonderful.
Wonderful rendition........very clean and fluid lines.........punctuated precisely, gets deep into that Monk vibe. I can't wait to hear more from you!!
Been playing guitar for some 20 years and started a jazz trio without really learning much so I'm using these kind of videos to see how it works on guitar since there are so versions of all of these. I need to up my chops. Great work!
I was thinking the same thing. Though I've only listened to Monk a few times, it seems like she improvised with a fair amount of Monk-ian phrasing/vocabulary. But with a smoothness. Cool Bop ?
It looks like you can separately adjust the string length and she's got the bass three longer than the treble three. It's behind the bridge so not sure it matters but it must or why bother? Intriguing.
Monk??? That's class! By the time I was old enough to appreciate music, Monk was already old fashioned. I'm 71 now but I wasn't introduced to Thelonius until my early 40s. Excellent treatment.
The timing on the head line has always confounded me. I'm going to use yours and the Miles Davis version as reference tracks to finally nail this sucker, this time on keyboard! Thanks again! @@dominykamauliute
I made a comment on your Facebook page. I am in awe of your talent. I am a 79 year old, mainly classical guitar play. If i had only a smidgen of you talent, i would be happy. May you go to big and better things in your guitar life.
Love this. When I was 16, now 72, Jimi Hendrix and Thelonious Monk were my two favorites. Locomotive on the Straight, No Chaser album was one of my faves. Enjoyed this video, thank you.
Hey! You and I track alike. I was about 12/13 when i first heard Monk, and it was all over. Jimi came next, maybe when i was 15? (Although I saw Easy Rider when it came out--i was 12, and fell in love with "If Six Was Nine"). But shout out on "Locomotive"! Great tune.
Hahahaha. Similar tases at around the same age. We were very fortunate back then. We had so many great bands with different styles of music.@@texfrances6664
Saw him once at a Chinese restaurant in Taluka Lake CA. His name was on the Markee. I couldn't believe it. Went in there he was playing piano. A great jazz master.
I'm 4 years old and I'm in love with your jazz vocabulary. I run a small business selling car tires with my 78-year old mother (who is also a professional jazz pianist!) and I added this song to our answering machine as waiting-in-line music, so we can listen to your playing by just calling our own number, it's great! This way we also block the line from any actual customers, so that we don't get too stressed about work. My mom is getting old and I'm way too young to sell tires.
Impressive. I couldn't use the answering machine until I was 8. This music is nice. Reminds me of when I lived in Charlottesville Va above a nice restaurant where Emily Remler played a couple nights a week. I could hear it in our apartment.
I am 3 years old and it's nice to see old people keeping jazz alive. Well done.
🤣
I am a 468 year old Musician and Man your playing is fantastic. In my day monk was an icon and you are keeping jazz alive.
Thank you :)
So you remember also Mozart, Chopin and Wacław z Szamotuł is the music of your childhood.
@@ArtificialFertilizer naturally yes
Bro stevo, you should be in museum because your age gap with mozart chopin etc are very close 😭
Wow, you were born in 1556.... Respect! 🙏
It warms my heart to see young players keeping jazz alive, especially an iconic artist like Monk. Well done 🙏
Thank you so much!
We're definitely keeping it alive. It's just that greatly talented musicians are overshadowed by video game streamers and "hot chicks" dancing on TikTok. 😑
Hard work and musical talent will always be more rewarding than unfettered self-indulgence. 👍
Jazz never had any hope of not staying alive man....

Jazz is an eternal genre though, universal.
The line that connects Charlie Christian to Wes Montgomery isn't always that easy to pick out but it's positively radiant here. Great work.
Thank you :)
And keep in mind, that this theme was not originally written for guitar. S-N-C is still one of my favourite ones, simply love that angular chorus!
CC was the first person I thought of when she started playing.
It's very nice to see young artists pick up the torch of timeless music and carry it forward... while, hopefully, adding their very own flavors and passing that along. Bravo!!
Thank you!
Nah..... bop is dead as door nails. No sense kicking a corpse. Miles left it behind.....so should we.
You're free to show yourself out. Won't be missed.@@zdave6083

.
@@zdave6083 that's such a bad take. Miles himself is an argument that bebop is a necessary component of all avant-garde jazz.
You have a wonderful feel for Monk's music. I'm sure Monk would love to hear you play! Thank you.
Thank you :)
Very nice- precise note-by-note transcription of Charlie Rouse’s sax solo. Cheers to her for her jazz chops.
Beautifully done....thanks
She's so in the zone it's like she becomes one with the instrument. That light touch on the fretting hand is mind blowing to me. I don't think I've seen anyone as comfortable and relaxed looking when they're playing a piece like this. Amazing. Cheers young lady.
Look better. :)
I will love this until the day I die. Not only a wonderful and clever rendition, but your tone is beautiful.
Thank you!
Very nice, swings, interesting lines, beautiful horn like phrasing, what’s not to like? Coming from a 68 year old jazz fan of 52 years, I approve whole heartedly.
Thank you!!!
Whenever I’m at a venue where there is live music entertainment I request this number. Most of time the musicians know it and earn a nice tip.
Glad someone noticed horn like phrasing. Something I tell new guitarist when they ask about playing lead or the head. Listen to horn players. Their pauses for breath bring a very organic, human voice to playing. Rather than a endless string of notes, pause, breath.
Is this Rouse’s solo? Sounds like it!
I'm a 59 year jazz fan and I'm 9 years younger than you. Who am I?
this woman is playin technica, precise jazzz, l on a guitar without the "soo fun" smiles n appeal. thank you. seriously. refreshing. genius. authentic. straight, no chaser.
That tone makes me feel warm and cozy.
I concur
No genre of music is "dead". Beautiful playing for a new generation !
Not dead, just a much smaller audience. That’s what decline is all about…sad.
As Zappa said: "It's not dead, it just smells funny."
Thank you!
Today's music is mostly dead to me.
Auto tune, formulated hits,pop tarts and thug gangstas.
Class never goes out of style.
@@jeffarcher400 Yes!!!
Lovely playing and I love the way you perform without false facial expressions. Keeping it real
Great pure tone, excellent and throughtful phrasing, using the melody to generate your ideas. Well done.
Thank you :)
Just love how she plays effortlessly. ❤
Thank you!
The Crazy Fingers LADY! Phenomenale Prestation! Keep playing MONK's tunes! You have the MAGIC Touch. Thanks For Sharing your inusual GIFT!
Thank you so much!!
What hands -- and her cat smile at the end
Wonderful!!! I thought “wow she memorized this transcription” and the realized you’ve just got it dialed!! More power and much success and happiness to you 🎶
Beautiful tone, clean technique. Great.
Thank you :)
Señor Ibañez is alright since he got dat Japanese accent
The world needs more Monk! Thanks so much for keeping his genius alive. Have you thought about doing a recording focusing on your transcriptions of his works?
Thank you! Not yet!
Absolutely super. Thank you. To my ears, everything is there. to enjoy. Great sound. Nice phrasing, so fluent.
Thanks!
My favourite Monk album. Love your site
Wonderful interpretation! You make great use of those long, supple fingers!
Thank you :)
Great performance! I enjoyed listening!
Great playing by an absolutely stunning creation
Thank you so much :)
Sounds sweet Domi, your tone-touch-taste is clear and warm, the way it should be!
Thank you :)
Very smooth and clean
Perfect technique, tone, and masterfully played
Thank you!
When i feel bad i listen this and feel great again ! Thank You Domi !
Very well played. You certainly have great jazz phrasing which to me is what jazz is all about. Nice guitar tone too.
Thank you!
I had to mention her tone as well. So, clean and warm.
My favorite jazz... The ole monk .. thank you young lady.. preciate you
Thank you :)
Really nice! I loved where every every chorus clearly contained references to the original melody. Just really well done!
Thank you!
This stills my mind as sure as being ready for the next indicated step becomes clear. All through the Thelonius Monk jam, jazz anthem.
Thank you!
Your solo is super monk-esque! Very hip!
The transcribed Charlie Rouse tenor sax solo sounds great on the electric!
Watching and listening to you play makes me smile! Your tone and feel is perfect!
Thank you so much!
Nailed it 🤌🏻 thanks for sharing
Thank you :)
As my dad would say, "Fuckin' A!" Five seconds in, I knew this was going to be good. By the time the Improv rolled around, I was sold.
Thank you :)
This is magic!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Very Nice Dominyka! Thanks for posting.
Thank you!
Incredible skill and beautiful sound x
I'm 71 and I really love your playing. I'm sure Monk would be delighted! Keep swinging.
I am 78 and agree.

Amazing to hear and see such a wonderful guitar being played so exquisitely beautiful

Bloody hell, you pulled this off spectacularly! I came here thinking no way this would work, but I've never been so happy to be so wrong! Bravo!
Thank you!
Thank you and don't ever stop!
How could I not love this expression. Thanks
Aah the tone is just superb!
Fabulous. Bebop in 12 bar blues. Thanks for the Monk.
Thank you!
@@dominykamauliute I haven’t looked yet to see if you anything from ‘Kinda Blue’, but I will.
When i close my eyes and listen i hear Wes Montgomery vibes. Beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful! I felt like I was being taken on the perfect roller coaster ride -- smooth, exhilarating, thrilling, and and fun.
Thank you!!
Wonderful rendition........very clean and fluid lines.........punctuated precisely, gets deep into that Monk vibe. I can't wait to hear more from you!!

Thank you :)
I've never seen such a hefty looking tailpiece. The tone on that Semi-hollowbody is so clean.
Thank you!
It looks like a George Benson Ibanez GB10SE Hollow Body guitar. Hearing how good it sounds makes me want one now. Great playing, young lady!
@@johne1599 You are right about that. I think they are kinda hard to find now!
It looks like you can separately adjust the string length and she's got the bass three longer than the treble three.
It's behind the bridge so not sure it matters but it must or why bother?
Intriguing.
I think it has to do with intonation of the frets being slightly different with those three thicker wound strings.@@jeffarcher400

You are talented, don’t ever stop playing.
Thank you

Monk would certainly get up and dance to your syncopated swing. Great groove. Give yourself a well done!
haha. Thanks !!
that was outstanding! Thank you for sharing your incredible talent.

Marvellous rendition.
Bravo. So young, too. Not only a big bunch of notes to hit...the syncopated rhythms are really impressive. A lot to memorize. WOW.
