Guitar Master Emily Remler: "Retrospective"

9:03pm - 12:40am

The late guitarist Emily Remler is the third Jazz Feature with female instrumentalists. Emily's time here was sadly short-lived as she died at age 32. She was very prominent on the Jazz scene for about 9 years. She was praised by all the still living guitar greats like Barney Kessel, Tal Farlow, Charlie Byrd and especially Herb Ellis who loved her playing so much that he made sure she got a recording contract. Most of her work was documented on Concord Records and tonight we'll delve into those recordings to present a fine picture of Emily, who deserves to be remembered. She was born on Sept. 18,1957 and died on May 4,1990. She deserved a much longer life but we must be grateful for her fine recordings. She is backed by various musicians on this Feature like pianists Hank Jones, James Williams and bassists Don Thompson and Buster Williams and drummers Terry Clarke and Marvin "Smitty"Smith and others. Check out Ms.Remler tonight....you'll love her!
