Emily Remler (September 18, 1957 May 4, 1990) was an American jazz guitarist who rose to prominence in the 1980s. She recorded seven albums of hard bop, jazz standards and fusion guitar before dying of heart failure at the age of 32 at the Connells Point home of musician Ed Gaston, while on tour in Australia. While women thrive in the field of classical music, there have been very few great female jazz or rock guitarists; throughout a tragically brief career Remler constantly proved herself a notable exception.

In addition to her recording career as a band leader and composer, Emily played in blues groups, on Broadway and with artists as diverse as Larry Coryell, with whom she recorded an album entitled Together, and the singer Rosemary Clooney. She played for the Los Angeles version of the show 'Sophisticated Ladies' from 1981 to 1982 and produced two popular guitar instruction videos. She also worked as guitarist for Astrud Gilberto. In 1985 she won the Guitarist Of The Year award in DownBeat Jazz Magazines international poll. In 1988 she was 'Artist in Residence' at Duquesne University and in 1989 received Berklee's Distinguished Alumni award.

  • This really nice music . thank u

  • @vis4y Thanks

  • Thanx dotz2ro for posting this composition by the Late Emily remler. She was one of the greatest jazz guitarist to ever live. Again we must re-affirm a sad truth,"The good die young". Thankfully her body of work lives on for us to enjoy. I bought this tape when new in 1990 only to learn of her passing. The tributes inside the liner were beautiful & very touching. Please post DEEP IN A TRANCE from this album. Se la paz de Dios con usted siempre Emilita.

  • Very relaxing & thankyou for posting. x

  • Someone please post snowfall its on her East toWes album ! It will give you chills !

  • What a great song I brought this cd right after she past. I thought it was Russ Freeman and the Rippingtons when I first heard it, maybe Russ produced it, at the time I was a big Ripps fan and that may have been why I bought it. I can only think of the potential stardom she may have had in the world of jazz. RIP Emily!!!
