What a waste
The loss of this woman's beautiful ringing tone and impeccable sense of swing was a blow to the music. She is so much less buttoned-up than most of the post-bop male guitarists.

This is my favourite album of Emily's. In particular, Snowfall is beautiful. What a great guitarist.
not too many female guitarists like this. I can't think of one.
Norah Jones was the toast of the music world a couple of years back. It's too bad Emily Remler died before guitar fans and jazz fans got the chance to really know her. She was truly trapped in the body of someone else as she liked to say. I feel lucky to have "discovered" her years ago while working at a public radio station. Thank god Concord has kept her output in release. I knew Wes Montgomery before his passing and Emily Remler would humbly disagree, but this release, along with her entire Concord catalog, would have made Wes proud. Emily, you remain a magnificent hidden treasure.
