    Emily was a guest artist at a small college I attended in ‘82. She was an unbelievably talented musician. I had some basics in jazz but she was completely overwhelming. She sat and had dinner with us one night. She was full of music and it showed in everything she talked about. I’d always wondered what had become of her and then learn a few years ago of her death. She was someone who truly had the talent and drive to go far. Unfortunately, she was born in a age where jazz was not the popular music and not appreciated. When I read many of the comments, I find them to also be unappreciative. It’s interesting how so many talented people are thrown into the gutter by a society that is all about shallow entertainment. And it hasn’t gotten any better in he last 30 years. RIP Emily and thanks for giving the world a higher bar.

      "she was born in a age where jazz was not the popular music and not appreciated". Its kind of ironic to me that this era produced some of the greatest, diverse jazz of all time IMHO!

      When was jazz ever appreciated to the level or rock or today's sanitized pop? Jazz is a niche market in the music world. No musician heads into it if they want to make a lot of money. They do it because that is the music they want to play; it's what in their soul. Had Remler lived she would have found acceptance among her audience and peers. Her problem was she was ahead of her time, not that she was discarded.

      You, ASS! The list of great Jazz guitarist should be a very short list. When we say, "He or she was or is a great jazz guitarist, we are referring to innovations in the art and style of playing jazz guitar." That is what is meant, by a great jazz guitarist!
      Very few jazz guitarist have created new and innovative ways to play the jazz guitar. I would list the various guitarist and the innovations they made, but I think you are to dim to understand!

    I miss Emily. What a soulful, swinging player, and kind and beautiful (if scarred) human being. I used to go to her apartment in Washington Heights for lessons. Those were great, but too few, although I still have some charts she wrote out for me. When I saw her years later at Fat Tuesdays, she introduced me to Tal Farlow! Man, I wish she had stuck around longer. She had so much to share.

    I used to o see Emily whenever she was playing in Manhattan in the eighties. She would do stints at the Vanguard with Larry Coryell and if my memory serves me right, Marvin Smitty Smith and Buster Williams . I was underage with a fake ID from Playland in Times Square but nobody checked that anyway. I’d sit in the back with the noseless bartender and nurse my three drink minimum through all three sets, sometimes just me and and a handful of Japanese businessmen left at the end of the night. One night I was coming out of the bathroom as the band packed up and heard Emily say in her heavy Jersey accent to Coryell, “ I don’t know, all I wanna do is play jazz and read Dickens, that’s all I know”
    These days many decades later I find myself thinking often “ all I wanna do is play jazz and read Dickens” what else to do as society crumbles down into ashes?
    Thanks Emily and Larry for all the raptured nights of transcendent beauty that will forever inform my view of this collective vision we share.

    Not only was she a tremendously talented guitarist, she was a great composer. She really shines on this tune as it really comes from the bottom of her. I met her when she came to the SF Bay Area, and when she found out that I'm a HUGE fan of Pat Martino, she even invited me to come to NY to stay with her when she's to gig with him on his come-back performance. (Of course I've kicked myself for not going.) What an incredibly genuine musician she was... This trio format is fantastic on this tune. I also like her playing duo with Larry Coryell.

  • @tenpiualto

    This video was a revelation. I'd seen Emily Remler's name before, but knew nothing about her, not even that she died. Anyone with chops, time (what a solid pocket while she played alone!), and a harmonic imagination that suggests she's listened to Bartók deserves to be remembered to anyone interested in jazz, on any instrument. Wow!
    And that bass player reminds me a lot of Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen. But he follows Remler's lead into a lot of places blues don't usually go (and where I've never heard NHOP go) still finding his way back home when he needed to be there. And how many other acoustic bass players can rip off lightning fast three-fingered triplets like that?

    Great video. Great performance, great solos and a great band. Can't believe she died so young. I was living in LA as she was just coming on the scene and was able to get my hands on her early albums as they arrived cause I lived near a huge Tower Records outlet. Since her early stuff was so good I looked forward to watching her as she progressed. And then to hear that she had passed and that drugs were involved. Drugs have done untold damage in general but especially in the jazz world. I think of Bird and Miles and Baker - the list just goes on and on. Tragedy is an over used word in this world but it certainly applies to the loss of a talent like Emily Remler.

      That was an ES-330...true hollow with no center block (the equivalent of the Epiphone Casino) with modified pickups (original were P90) and tailpiece I think. Sadly, I heard that this guitar completely burned in a house fire!

    Her childlike expressions expressed just how good her soul felt when she played. She was so hard on herself practicing for a short lifetime. Herb knew and was flattered by Emily's voracious desire to sound otherworldly. Todd Vulo was another guitarist associated with Herb. He helped them see the smart notes to play. I miss them all!

      When you have loved someone ♥️, if this one has disappeared, you remember him or her, and you keep in your mind and heart what has been good in the relation, and it is the best way to continue to be happy 🤗 and to become "old"👵.
      I don't know how "old" you are, but you have to continue to keep her in you heart.
