A good source of information on Emily Remler: https://indianapublicmedia.org/nightlights/emily-remler-a-musical-remembrance/

A favorite, David. Less impressed by the recent film.

Reservoir Records gave him a number of leader dates in the 90s. Available on Spotify and well worth a listen. Now playing:

On the basis of his recorded work in the 90s (when I saw him twice) Claudio is one of my very favorite trumpet players. Yet you don't hear much about him, do you? Underrated, would you say?

Read recently. Excellent. Recommended.

Recently finished. Wonderful on humorous anecdotes.

Track 2: Fats Waller's "Ain't Misbehavin'". Major Holley humming with bowed bass. Track 3: Guitarist has listened to Wes Montgomery, tho' it's not Wes. Some sort of 16 bar blues. Track 4: Back to the blues with 12 bars. Wild guess: Al Harewood on drums? Track 5: "Makin' Whoopee". Probably not Ray Charles. Track 7: "Willow Weep for Me" Track 8: Cal Tjader? Track 10: Ellington? Track 12: Illinois Jacquet?
