Emily Remler: Retrospective Volume One (Standards) (1991)

A Wonderful overview of Remler's guitar playing on various standards. Some small group cuts and a couple duets with Larry Coryell show Remler as a traditionally voiced but modern, creative improviser. Too bad she's gone -- she really could swing.

1. Daahoud
2. How Insensitiv
3. Strollin'
4. Hot House 
5. In Your Own Sweet Way  
6. Joy Spring 
7. Softly, As in a Morning Sunrise 
8. Afro Blue 
9. Del Sasser 
10. In a Sentimental Mood

Emily Remler: Catwalk (1984)

Guitarist Emily Remler's fourth and Concord recording makes one regret even more her premature death at age 32. While her earlier dates were very much in the bop mainstream, this one (in a quartet with trumpeter John D'Earth, bassist Eddie Gomez and drummer Bob Moses) finds her looking ahead and partly finding her own voice on her seven diverse originals. Although she never became an innovator, Remler certainly had a lot to offer the jazz world and this fairly adventurous effort was one of the finest recordings of her short career. ~ Scott Yanow
Tracklist:
1. Mocha Spice
2. Catwalk
3. Gwendolyn
