    I had the incredibly good fortune to be a student of Emily’s in NYC back in ‘86 or ‘87. Words can’t describe how cool it was to spend an hour with her, guitars in hands, every week. It was Magical.

    I got to meet her in Chicago when a drummer buddy of mine was playing in her band. Unfortunately, I went to hear them after my gig was over and they had just finished by the time I got there. My buddy introduced us and he said, "Ernie is a great local guitar player" and Emily said, "Oh yeah? Let's play!" I didn't take her seriously, but I guess we could've jammed in her lodging or at my place and I'll always regret that I didn't take her up on that. She was really sweet and a cutie to boot! And of course, a great jazz player! I have a couple of her albums I could hear that Wes Montgomery was a big influence, which is not to say she didn't have her own thing. Tragically, she passed away at such a young age, 32 years old. She had so much more to give. R.I.P. Emily.

    What an honor to her memory.
    In this life as, in all genera's of music we lose so many way too soon.
    For example, Scott Lafaro, Bill'Evans Bass, then Bill, and Chet Baker, sometimes in car accidents, an overdose, other extenuating circumstances. Many others that were not in the music life, but also have been great examples in other areas.
    But we have this extradinary massive of legendary of music for all of us to still hear. Thank you so much!!!❤

    Accomplished and polished with a lot of 'Wes' influence (this is how it seems to me, at least) - so different to what's considered hip in 2023. I saw her in Melbourne, Australia just before she overdosed in the 80's.She played in a small Irish pub called the Limerick Arms. Emily circulated in the breaks talking to people at the bar, just like a friendly 'normal' person. I taped it all on my walkman - hope I didn't jinx her.

  • @AFaceintheCrowd01
    @AFaceintheCrowd01 Před rokem +4

    You can hear the rock influence - the guitar sound and the way she repeats an especially hot lick for a few bars - and mastery of Wes and Grant Green’s approach. She comes from hard bop in so many ways. Incredible that just hours after this gig, she took the OD that killed her. (Junkies loved Australia at the time because loads of the pure stuff from the Golden Triangle was coming in all the time from Bangkok; she even says at one point here she’s thinking of moving to Australia) A great loss.
