Indiana jazz aficiando Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 I have one by Emily....from East to Wes,,,that I continue to play frequently. Are there any other records she made before her early death? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) Yes. A google or other search engine will bring up their names. They're almost all uniformly excellent. All the Concords are really worth hearing. Another person whose demons got the better of them, perhaps. Mine just keep on getting the mediocre of me and swelling it up.

BillF Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 There are quite a few Emily Remler records listed on amazon. The Youtube clips of her are great, too. There's an excellent radio show on Emily available in the archives of Night Lights from WFIU, which you probably know about if you live in Bloomington.

kh1958 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 These are her releases as a leader or co-leader: Firefly 1981 Take Two 1982 Transitions 1983 Catwalk 1984 Together with Larry Coryell, 1985 East to Wes 1988 This is Me 1990 Transitions and Catwalk are my two favorites. In addition, I recommend the Richie Cole/Hank Crawford CD Bossa International, which is a live recording featuring Emily Remler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 fine guitarist, nice girl, what a crazy waste - I met her right after she was starting to get known. Seemed like a very straight-up person. People were quite shocked when she died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Not being much of a Wes fan, I still recall hearing some of her records - my dad was a follower of her work - and thought them to be technically affirming. Too bad she checked out so young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted O'Reilly Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 I can tell you that two great players, Don Thompson and Terry Clarke who played and recorded with her (Take Two, Concord CJ195), and who know guitarists -- Jim Hall, Ed Bickert, Lorne Lofsky, Reg Schwager and others, both thought she was terrific. I remember interviewing her, and she was quite nice: shy and restrained, though I'm told could be wild under the influence. She was married (well, you know...) to Monty Alexander, and I think their breakup was over her chemical activities. Here's a link to her last performance/recording that I know of...from Melbourne, Australia, just a week before her death in Sydney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the mention, Bill--IJA, here's the link: Emily Remler: a Musical Remembrance Also check out this great Emily Remler website, which has rundowns on her dates both as a leader and as a side or guest artist.
