I worked with Emily when she was in NYC. We played around the East Coast in trio. At the time she had a red sports car which barely fit my drums. She drove very fast and in total control, like her playing. I miss her very much.
I was het lover and manager. I also made all her guitars...and now i tell this to people on CZcams, but no one cares. Like the time we were driving around together
I admire Your fortune 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽 … I wish I got to meet . It wasn’t until after her passing that I found out that we were practically neighbors , living near the JFK Airport area of Queens, NY . 🙏🏽
I knew Emily when I was 17 -18 years old she was working with my st, dad who was Mark Copeland (NY) jazz pianist I was already heading into the world of heavy metal hard rock/ early 1980s.. She and I talked guiatr she showed me some cool playing techniques scales. She would ask if I wanted to hang out when she would come to rehearsal at my house with my st dad. My mom who was a a jazz vocalist, told me she died in May 1990 and I broke down crying.. She will always have a place in my spirit I had a crush on her honestly.. smoking player passionate and a real good human being.
Cool story man, yeah it's really sad that she died for such an unbelievable talent. such a smooth player, I can't think of anybody in the metal world that as smooth as her, not even Satch or Vai, even Kiko Loureiro. It's so much harder to be that relaxed and smooth on an Ovation than it is on an Ibanez prestige. lol. cheers.
From the moment I heard Emily for the first time a felt a kind of connection. Not only based on musical taste and style, but also because of her personality. I regret so much that I could never see her live or meet her in person. So, yes, I'm a little jealous of you ... .
I only stumbled on Emily a few weeks ago, Wow! So sad she left us so early, I am looking forward to jamming with her in the afterlife!! She has such melodic traits but different, amazing playing!!!
THESE ACCOSTIC JAZZ SETS GIVE ME SUCH A FEELING OF WELL BEING AND HOPE - I HAVE LOST SO MUCH IVE EVEN TRIED SUICIDE - I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU EMILY REMLER 4 THIS MUSIC - YOUR SPIRIT LIVES ON
Boy I remember back in LA in the 80's when Emily came on the scene. She just hit the ground running. And this was when LA was crawling with the best of the best guitar players on the planet so it was hard to stand out but she did. And she slotted into the whole Joe Pass - Herb Ellis traditional hard swingin' old pros vibe. There were lots of young guns doing all kinds of fusion, jazz rock etc. but Emily seemed like someone who had been around for ever. I guess they call it having an "old soul". And in the tradition of the greats she swung hard! This was true "Straight Ahead" jazz as Chuck Niles used to call it. I MISS EMILY SO MUCH!!
Saw her once at a sparsely attended suburban hotel gig. She hung out with us between sets and when the show was over. Great player and friendly. Seemed kinda lonely though.
When asked how she (Remler) wanted to be remembered she remarked, "Good compositions, memorable guitar playing and my contributions as a woman in music...but the music is everything, and it has nothing to do with politics or the women's liberation movement."[8]
So glad I came across this! Like all of them. Amazing how much Bill already sounded like himself here, but so diverse. And on the SG! Shame that we didn't get to see miss Remler with the ES.
Emily's second tune "Majestic Dance" is stunning. It's like a fusion of Jazz and Folk! (A union I've not heard many people really do.. perhaps she pioneered it? [Does anyone know anyone else who has done something similar?] - I think she was an innovator! She was certainly a genius player!!) If I ever see heroin in the street, I'm gonna punch it square in the face - for taking Emily away.. Don't do drugs, kids. Please.
Rarely in history has there been a musician (specifically a guitarist), of her caliber. Emily had the virtuosic technique and her feel and phrasing, were always so expressive, so right on. There are players that exude either one of those qualities, but to have a balance of both consistently, is extremely rare. Ms. Remler fused her physical presence into her spiritual energy, not bound to this Earth, but illuminated in the glorious vibrations of the universe since the beginning of time.
Not even confident it's a pedal, it looks huge. My first guess was a EHX 16 Second delay when I saw it. First hearing it I was guessing a DL6. Either one would achieve that sound.
@@bubsadoozy Frissel used a EHX 16 second delay when I saw him in the late 80s or early 90s at the Iron Horse in Northampton MA, & a small Marshall combo. Solo show as I recall.
If you don’t really know much about music it might sound dated to you. You’ll understand hopefully when you get older. Some people never learn though so keep your eyes open.
One should take into account the fact that there are very few new artists playing jazz; therefore, there is less progression within the genre. The stuff from the 60's and earlier is still probably the most popular to listen to for jazzers, so relative to that, this is modern or modern-sounding, at the least. I think it sounds like it could have been released yesterday and not in the 80s.
A good jazz player can easily transition to just about any other genre and succeed. Same is not true for most others. For example, good luck getting your average blues player to play melodically to a pop song.

Must have been a great time when jazz guitarists could afford sports cars, haha.

Awesome ! I remember seeing you in Santa Barbara with Kei Akagi etc. Back when I lived there.
@@alstier3356 sure we care 🌠❤🔥🌠

This is a peak era for all of these players. I especially enjoy Pat Martino’s playing on this video. Brings back a lot of memories. RIP

She had the chops, A unique melodic style, and great hair !
Emily Remler, the goddess of jazz guitarists
Saw her once at a sparsely attended suburban hotel gig. She hung out with us between sets and when the show was over. Great player and friendly. Seemed kinda lonely though.
I saw Emily with Larry Coryell. She smiled at me so I was hoping to get lucky.
Thank you!
0:00:59 Blues for Herb
0:04:35 Majestic dance
0:11:23 You know what I'm saying
Remler and Bickert were the ones who convinced me to switch from double bass to guitar, and I owe them every thanks!
Yes, Bickert is a monster of cool with all those rootless chords and style.
Emily's playing is so moving. It has something special. It contains her pleasure of music.
Frisell is a poet of guitar ❤️
An important bit of history there. Thanks.
Great Jazz...this should be remastered !...
Wow! What a collection of masters!
Beautiful.
Very interesting , thank you for posting !

All of that great guitar music is coming from head. .so amazing
What Steve Khan is saying about those lonely technocrats is so true. CZcams is full of them...
One worth remembering . Such a nice touch and feel
So glad I came across this! Like all of them. Amazing how much Bill already sounded like himself here, but so diverse. And on the SG! Shame that we didn't get to see miss Remler with the ES.
Awesome
Emily showing a Wayne Krantz influence! What a great player.
Frisell so cool here
He is so 80s

Don't do drugs, kids. Please.
Steve Khan on that strat
Listen to his solo on Glamour Profession
Stratlike, but not a Fender, it's an ESP, probably a custom job for him
bill frisell....❤
Yeahs!
❤❤❤
I have been told by others Emily Remler was the first woman Jazz guitarist at MIT so sad she is gone
She went to Berkeley
❤
Pretty good for someone with only ten fingers
I never knew you could play other notes than the Em pentatonic and very RARELY Am pentatonic on an SG.

Does anyone know what pedal that is?

Who knows the strings type and guage of Emily's Ovation?
HEAVY
@@guitarman6742 thanks!
Emily had an early Metheny sound.
That touch of chorus
On the 2nd tune? Strikes me as more John Abercrombie influenced, but I know what you're saying.
The who's never get it
kggi
This was modern jazz at the time.. now it’s dated jazz.
It's only dated jazz if you, the listener, are extremely desperate to be hip at all times. Real music of any kind is never dated.
Pat Martino is doing a straight up early 60s idiom.
If you don’t really know much about music it might sound dated to you. You’ll understand hopefully when you get older. Some people never learn though so keep your eyes open.

With about 3 hours guitar experience and a few effects pedals, you too can play like Bill Frisell
yeah, surely you're way better. probably got like a million fans, ha? lol
What pedal is it?
Spoken like a true non musician.
Like a pedal is gonna make you play "It Could Happen To You" like this. Sure, my friend
