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!
EMILY REMLER stands in the highest category of Musicians who choosed to play jazz on a guitar . She breathed bop- hard-bop melodic lines , groove and chords progressions like WES MONTGOMERY . Her playing deserves analysis and studies .
When I lived in Charlottesville VA in the early 80s, she played weekly at a restaurant below our apartment. We could hear her upstairs in our living room. Was cool.
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.
Just arrived here, such a talented beautiful lady. Notes flow from her fingers just like sitting on the bank of a brook, watching the water just flow along with white caps reflecting the morning sunlight in all directions here and there babbling along in the spring. Just so satisfying and fresh.
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.
I’m thankful to have grown up with Emily. Sitting on the brick stairs leading up to her house, we would jam. Aimlessly i might add. I miss this wonderful woman.
One great thing about Emily's playing is how she constantly sidesteps cliche. Her lines are angular and innovative plus rhythmically complex. It's a "blues" but her playing goes everywhere.
Before her jazz guitar career took off, Emily played with an R&B here in New Orleans called Little Queenie and the Percolator in the 70s. She was beloved by all of us Percolators fans. She's missed by New Orleans music lovers to this day.
over 30 years she is gone and still her music is flawless and divine... such a huge loss to the world :( it would be so great to reissue all her music!
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.
Emily’s talent was equal to the Greatest-Names -Montgomery,Pass,Smith,Benson-Burrell’ and a Host of others. The Bass Player and Drummer were incredible on this Set👍🇺🇸
Steve Bailey is one of the greatest Bass virtuosos nowadays, with an awesome career. Also, is the current head of the Bass department at Berklee College of Music. He's Bass Royalty! Quite young in this video...
She had all the graces of a consummate jazz guitarist! Awesome playing no doubt! A very young Steve Bailey killing it on the upright too; one of my bass heroes especially for his work on 6-string fretless...pure wizardry!
This must be later in her career as she sounds more modern than I'm used to hearing her. I'm hearing more Jim Hall in addition to the bop / Wes stuff. So was growing so fast. RIP Emily.
WHAT MORE 2 SAY ??? SUPER DUPER / REAL GREAT PERFORMANCE and A ALL SO GREAT MUSICIANS !!! - KEEP ON PLAYING "EMILY REMLER"(R.I.P.) and SWINGING 4 EVER in HEAVEN - 1000 THANKS 2 U 4 SHARING !!! ☆♕ Stellan Viking (Blues🎸man🎙) Speaking, Singing, Screaming & Shouting @ WorldwidewelcomE ♕☆
I loved Emily Remler's guitar playing..she really had it goin' on...when she died (much too soon), I was stunned. Ended up naming my favorite puppy after her...as my own tribute to one of the finest guitarists jazz ever heard/saw. This music is simply the perfection that was Emily Remler..thank you for posting, for kindly sharing with those of us who knew what a giant, what an awesome guitarist Emily was.
As a jazz guitarist, this is one of those “ I give up” performances, that I have not seen before. She was a singular talent and prescence. Thanks for posting.
Emily was in relationship with me and we were very happy together but we spilt because she couldnt give up drugs. Im too old now but still i miss her and i always watch her videos and just miss her alot. I am very sad she is gone😥but the memories with you always remains with me💔
@all1238 "Too old" ? Sorry, but non sense 😢. 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. The best to you 😚
First time listening! What good band. Good guitar work! I caught Steve Bailey and victor wooten in 92 I believe. At Reliable music in Charlotte NC. Great!
She's an Incredible jazz guitarist, such a Great band, they sound so big for a trio. So Tragic what happened to Emily. I had the honor to meet her a long time ago in Phily, she was a lovely person. I Miss her, the world misses her.
She was an incredible talent. I discovered her work right about the time I began playing guitar in the mid 80s. We can only imagine what she would have done had she not passed so young. Her talent stands the test of time. She's one of the greats.
She is a very literate guitarist. Think of George Benson, Russell Malone, and Norman Brown. Check out mu book Music Education In The Schools. Audible.com
When you say jazz guitarist to me it kinda puts a disclaimer on her or something..She was a awesome guitarist period! Let's not label her even tho its what she liked to play.
Emily was a jazz giant who really didn't get the recognition she deserved just because she was a female jazz guitarist. What an amazing talent! Steve killed on the upright!
Fair enough, but by being a female Jazz guitarist ,who played exceptionally well She probably "Stood out more than some of her male contempories might've. She was'nt an innovative type musician like a George Benson or a Charlie or Wes Montgomery who broke new ground, except that she did, in a sense, by being who she was
@@willbarrow8271W'll never know how ground breaking would have been a mature Emily Remler. Her development was steep, though. And she was still developing heavily.
@Keith Copeland She appeared in that 1990s Musician list of Greatest Guitarists of the 20th Century . This wasn’t one of those wild hair lists . It was done by the Editors . It included all genres and such diverse Guitarists as Johnny Ramone and Mother Maybelle Carter . I wish I still had the copy of that magazine . Anyway it brought Amy to me and I am grateful for that . Too bad about her tragic early demise .
I’m sad that this is the first time I’ve come across this superb artist. Jazz is a very wide field, so many sub genres and styles, so its difficult to say ‘it’s popular or not popular’ It’s always there somewhere but not always specifically given that label…Back to Emily though..She was so talented.
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?
Jazz is music all can enjoy. I realized it took a more sophisticated ear than mine to understand... until I had listened to Thelonius Monk. Finally I got it! Played Rock bass in the Sixties but still work on improv.
Way back in the day, I bought a CASETTE (I warned you I was old) of Emily based solely on the cover photo of her and her ES-335. I had not heard of her, but by the time I got 4 blocks down the street with this in my dashboard, I was a hooked fan forever.
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.
Wow Emily !! & Steeve & Joe. You blew me away. I`m sure the late great Herb would have appreciated "Blues for Herb" - Maybe, Emily, somewhere, somehow you`re jamming with him now.
When she started the combining the Wes’ thing -wow. What amazing Ebb & Flow on this Jam👍Bass & Drummer are top notch 👍doesn’t get any better than this! Thanks for making the world a better place. RIP Emily❤️🇺🇸
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!
I am definitely a huge fan of Emily Remler now. I didn't know Steve Bailey played Upright. I've only seen him play a fretless electric Bass. He's a virtuoso no doubt about it!!🎸🎼🎵🎶🥁🎛🎸 Great yet intricate blues tune. Superb performance!
Fantastic. Saw Emily Remler a few times at the Balcony in Pittsburgh in the mid 80s, just killing it, and a really nice person to talk to. Such a huge loss. Also, never knew Steve Bailey was a straightahead upright burner... holy cow. Great playing all around. Thanks for posting.
I'm glad I found this , Emily passed a long time ago but this is A wonderful performance. Jazz guitarists of today would find it very difficult to reach her mastery.
I have seen PM twice in England. The first circle tour and the secret story tour . Both superb gigs. I never got to Pat's trio at brecon jazz festival which is similar to Emily and is on RUclips. Emily was a true jazzer and not a duality player like pat .
@@ColtraneTaylor ask John schofield , he made the quote he did not like pats duality . His early pmg was a mixture of rock and jazz and always carried various genres
@@ianroberts3948 Oh right. Personally most guitar jazz is too smooth for me and Pat's a good example. It makes me wonder if he's writing music for coffee shops.
I had breakfast with Emily in Duluth many years ago. She confided in me about her egg choices. Eggs over easy was the thing. I appreciated her confidences.
That people like Emily exist has always blown me away, but that she was based in New Orleans pre-1978 is amazing. I didn't start hanging in the city til '79. Would have liked to see some of her gigs! I knew Masakowski, too!
This is the very best of anything that I have heard in a long time. And I'm 64, so a long time really is a long time. I could listen to it all day. Sweet!
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!
@@danieldesjardins6615 A jazz guitarist friend, Eddie Pasternak was playing in Europe when the Oakland Hills Firestorm took all of his guitars, save those he had with him. Beautiful soul, beautiful musician. I was privileged to have him play on sessions of mine.
I am amazed and ashamed that this jazz monster and her band have been completely off my radar until now. What an amazing and unique style! Also, that bassist is also scary good! His solo really compliments Emily's style.
All players exhibiting genius here... Bass player is not fooling around😮 Emily is brilliant I love this

Have a youtube video dedicated to the unknowns that affect our musical life. ruclips.net/video/CBoWlGREW24/видео.html
@@Tenkvandool aye. She simply wasn't any good at it. People loved Jazz back then a lot more.
So well put, sir.

That's really lucky. I discovered her about three years ago and today I have her among a narrow selection of tops.
When I lived in Charlottesville VA in the early 80s, she played weekly at a restaurant below our apartment. We could hear her upstairs in our living room. Was cool.
millers?
I was at UVA from 82 to 86 and I remember her name but unfortunately never saw her play.
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.
Thanks for sharing a personal story and appreciation. She had a great talent and left too soon. Thank God for the music she gave us, though.
Just arrived here, such a talented beautiful lady.
Notes flow from her fingers just like sitting on the bank of a brook, watching the water just flow along with white caps reflecting the morning sunlight in all directions here and there babbling along in the spring.
Just so satisfying and fresh.
Joe Brancato (Drums) Steve Bailey (Upright Bass) Emily on guitar................Thats a whole lot of mastery going on here..........Genius Mode
Did a double take on who the bassist was here LOL! Same dude who jams on various 6 string electric fretless machines. :D
She just makes extraordinary riffs look easy, what a unique talent and this is my first listen to her work...
43 years after her death, I have to say thank you Emily Remler for your fantastic contributions to jazz guitar. You rocked it Miss Emily
You meant 33, now 34
First time I've listened to Emil Remler1 She is ferociously good!!
Three musicians playing at the top of their game 😊 and why Emily Remler isn’t better remembered today is beyond me 🤔 she was beyond category ❤️
Could be that she was a woman, they tend to not get a place in history as often...historically speaking ;)
🌬️Feels So Good 💕ruclips.net/video/n7qspyo4ArQ/видео.html
@@seeingblind7920 I agree, it's likely because she's a woman
She died young
They all got IT...that thing called ..Magic!! The most challeging form a trio....
Heroin.!! Nobody's friend.!! Emily Remler much missed should have still been here for us today.!!!
Damn! That's a monster!
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.
Awesome comment!!! You're something else pal 👏👏👏👏👏
She plays like a Boss. So unique. RIP Guitar Lady.
At the end she says "You guys are great" - like she just sat in with them for this great shit . . . respect.
I’m thankful to have grown up with Emily. Sitting on the brick stairs leading up to her house, we would jam. Aimlessly i might add. I miss this wonderful woman.

One great thing about Emily's playing is how she constantly sidesteps cliche. Her lines are angular and innovative plus rhythmically complex. It's a "blues" but her playing goes everywhere.

Such a tremendous loss. I was completely numb when I heard the tragic news about Emily Remler. So young.
A Beyond Gifted Artist.
First time seeing any live footage of her. Such a shame we don't have more of her wonderful work to enjoy.
The dvd instruction is still available. I have it. Recommended.
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!
She almost played Herb Ellis' style better than Herb Ellis.
Is Herb in question Herb Ellis, the jazz guitar player who played with Andre Previn?
@@Napoleon4778 Yes. Herb was a mentor, and when I was at one of his concerts in the early '80's, he mentioned her as a new rising star.
Love this woman! R.I.P.
Yeah Emily, great feel and phrasing!
She told Steve Bailey and Joe Brancato to pick it up, what a B E A S T !!
🌬️Feels So Good 💕ruclips.net/video/n7qspyo4ArQ/видео.html
Another great one...gone but not forgotten.
I am definitely a huge fan of Emily Remler now.
I didn't know Steve Bailey played Upright.
I've only seen him play a fretless electric Bass.
He's a virtuoso no doubt about it!!🎸🎼🎵🎶🥁🎛🎸
Great yet intricate blues tune.
Superb performance!
This is Joe Brancato playing drums. I was lucky enough to play with him at MI back in the 90's. Amazing!
This is him on drums , I played with Steve and Joe at MI in 1988... Nice and talented guys !!!
Whatever happened to Joe?
What an incredibly talented band. She is so killer!!
Fantastic. Saw Emily Remler a few times at the Balcony in Pittsburgh in the mid 80s, just killing it, and a really nice person to talk to. Such a huge loss. Also, never knew Steve Bailey was a straightahead upright burner... holy cow. Great playing all around. Thanks for posting.
What an amazing tribute to Herb Ellis.
Gone too soon, by the same old specter we hear all too often.
I'm glad I found this , Emily passed a long time ago but this is A wonderful performance. Jazz guitarists of today would find it very difficult to reach her mastery.
Have you ever seen Pat Metheny?
I have seen PM twice in England. The first circle tour and the secret story tour . Both superb gigs. I never got to Pat's trio at brecon jazz festival which is similar to Emily and is on RUclips. Emily was a true jazzer and not a duality player like pat .
@@ianroberts3948 "duality player"
Wazzat?
@@ColtraneTaylor ask John schofield , he made the quote he did not like pats duality . His early pmg was a mixture of rock and jazz and always carried various genres
@@ianroberts3948 Oh right. Personally most guitar jazz is too smooth for me and Pat's a good example. It makes me wonder if he's writing music for coffee shops.
A real "Jazz Guitar Master Clinic" all in just ONE Tune. RIP Emily Remler - the true QUEEN of Jazz Guitar.
Have you ever heard Mary Osborne?
Absolutely Remarkable. What a beautiful player!
This is brilliant and Emily's playing is top notch.
A so Great guitarist!!!!
ON MY PLAYLIST ALSO, WHAT A 🎸 Emily was🔥🔥❤️ Jan. 2023!!!
What a trio!!! Absolutely smoking!!!
Great Band, the bass man is very cool...
I had breakfast with Emily in Duluth many years ago. She confided in me about her egg choices. Eggs over easy was the thing. I appreciated her confidences.
A guitar genius. Magnificent!!!
That people like Emily exist has always blown me away, but that she was based in New Orleans pre-1978 is amazing. I didn't start hanging in the city til '79. Would have liked to see some of her gigs! I knew Masakowski, too!
This is the very best of anything that I have heard in a long time. And I'm 64, so a long time really is a long time. I could listen to it all day. Sweet!
It's exceptional!!!
01:52 to 02:04 looks so simple, yet her tone and tempo is ultramega-killer.
So tight. What an incredible guitarist
One of the best sounding 335's [345, 355?] I've heard, not to mention the incredible playing. She was truly gifted; RIP.
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!
@@danieldesjardins6615 Afaik she also played a Borys archtop.
@@heribertmaier4422 Yes, I saw her live play that guitar.
First guitar was her brother's Gibson ES-330. She played a Borys B120 hollow-body electric toward tje end of the 1980s. (Wikipedia)
@@danieldesjardins6615 A jazz guitarist friend, Eddie Pasternak was playing in Europe when the Oakland Hills Firestorm took all of his guitars, save those he had with him. Beautiful soul, beautiful musician. I was privileged to have him play on sessions of mine.
She was incredible, and I miss her greatly. So tragic how she died... and so young.
Huh...?
@@larryparis925 Go to wikipedia and look her up.
Great Emily !
RIP ALWAYS
I am amazed and ashamed that this jazz monster and her band have been completely off my radar until now. What an amazing and unique style! Also, that bassist is also scary good! His solo really compliments Emily's style.
