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.

Emily died on the 4th May 1990 only hours after this concert. Such a fantastic player and performer, such a tragedy R.I.P Emily

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.

I feel like I just struck gold !

So incredibly Beautiful and incredibly sad at the same time.. One of the all time great guitarists.

This is gold, she was a great player!

So sad to loose this brilliant guitarist ..!!♡:( RIP.

To think that she died the very next day…such a tragic loss.

Thank you Tom, and your playing is wonderful! Emily sounds great here too. The lesson we should all get is to play like it's your last gig, because it just might be. Thank you Emily, Rest In Peace.

Calling this footage a treasure is not hyperbole. Thank you, Tom, for sharing it. And no reason at all to excuse your playing - both your comping and soloing are spot on. Nice job!

Fantastic performance! Such a tragedy Emily has not been here these last 30 years. She would be only 66 now -- in her prime.

RIP Emily

I'm in my early 30's, an ex-addict, and an avid guitarist. Emily's story hits home, but this was quite the swan song.

She was Fantastic! I wish She was still with Us.

What an absolute treasure this is! So miss Emily and her remarkable, beautiful muse and playing. Rest easy, angel. 💜

Thanks for posting this important recording. She was gifted.

Phucken AWESOME Tom. I wish I was at this concert.

This is great.

Very sad to lose her from her abuse of drugs. Very very sad loss to everyone.😢

Oh Yes! She was a queen of jazz guitar! What a talent, her frasers melodical lines and comps she knew it all...

I can't believe it...the day before the tragedy. This is a real piece of history you've shared...thank you for that.

God Blessed this talented woman and let her share her emotions through her music, just saw this and love it

This video is pure gold! It must've been a dream to play with her

I have only seen one video of Emily's playing. This is priceless. Thank you for such a gift. She was an unbelievable guitarist. These jazz musicians are incredible also. 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!!!❤

Bluesette wowee on the piano transition to guitar and then the guitar and bass together PERFECTO!!

I have most of Emily's CDs. I started getting into her music in 1990, a few months before she died. I wish she was still with us.

We miss you Emily!!....amazing musician!! God keeps you in His glory!!

One of my favourite guitarists. She passed away the day after the concert on the 4th of may 1990 at the age of 32.

1990 was the same year my father passed away. It was after her passing that I found out that we were actually some what neighbors , living near the JFK Airport in Queens, New York , in the US. Deepest & Fond Regards to memory of Lady E. R. 🙏🏽🌹🙏🏽

Great playing, great choice of tunes and, unfortunately, a great loss but our Australian jazz musicians really did us proud here 💖

What a beautiful concert.☮

Historical document. Many, many thanks!

Priceless.

There will never be another Emily! What a lovely person and musican!!! I was very fortunate to meet her a few times and she exuded warmth and love.

This is a treasure. And your playing is superb.

She is talented lady guitarist. Smooth sound. I got her few albums. Greetings from Jazzman Kuala Lumpur.

This is great! Not much video footage of Emily live, especially a whole show... thank you! Your playing is very good btw.

Thanks for all this great live footage; I wonder why not one of her concerts has ever been published on CD.

WonderfuI Mr. Kassai. Great admiration for Mr.EmiIy RemIer and her feIIow musicians this evening and the magic moment you shared. We aII feeI sad for the tragedy . Greets from Wes(t) germany

What a treasure! Thanks so much for sharing. Emily pours her soul into her compositions and renditions. So sad she left us at such an early age. Saw her perform in the 80's either in New Orleans or on Beale Street. R.I.P. Emily

Wow! I heard this existed but didn't believe it was real. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much for sharing this treasure.

Oh LORD. 😥 My DAD took me to see EMILY at the ol’ musos club in Sydney. I’m a professional muso; l actually spoke with her. We’re both tiny. 😊 We spoke ( she was a sweetheart; & made arrangements to have a jam together. She was found dead 2 days later. I was SHATTERED. For her OF COURSE; & that l missed playing with her. Emily, when l cross, we’ll have that jam. It’s way to sad….. 😔😰

I work from home at a computer and often with music streaming on my personal PC. Usually the music is just for background but in this case the visuals of Emily's fancy fretwork (I'm a guitarist too) proved to great a distraction to get much work done. Wow.

Gone too soon. Way too soon. 🙏

This is wonderful!-----I saw her perform in Worcester, MA, at the College of the Holy Cross, not terribly long before this, I think.

That chorus pedal is getting in the way of me really enjoying this..

Tom - Buddy! ...Cheers for posting this - so very much, Thank You Dearly. No apologies to be made for the 'novicicity' (...Cool name for a BeBop tune perhaps!?), ...from your open, you're swingin' Bro' ~ Thanks most sincerely for sharing this sweet little treasure.

Thank you so much for this share ! 💖

Wonderful (yet tragic)! How fortunate am I, that KZfaq's algorithm just suggested this video posting to me, apparently based on my recent video views. And how generous that you posted this video, after keeping it to yourself (and, I'm guessing, to close family & friends) for so many years. May her memory be for a blessing.

What a geat testimony to that great guitarist Emily was...to see and hear such things make KZfaq the great tool it can be when people use it like that, truly wonderful..Many thanks Tom!

I grew up watching George Golla on Aussie TV in the 1960's. I can't remember the TV shows, but George on his Maton (Australian made guitar) blew me away. And in the same way Emily knocked my socks off big time. Emily, I have just In the last two days found/discovered her. Gee what a breath of fresh air and illumination to me.

Wow! Tom, this is so fantastic. Such a sad time. She was such a monster & force. Great footage & nice band too man, K.

She was already a great player at that time. If she were still alive, she would be one of virtuosos.

Loved the piano on "How Insensitive". Good job, man

Tanx for sharing, great playing as always from her

Much appreciated!

Great musical and historical document. Thank you ever so much for posting this.

What a diamond. Thank you very much for posting this.... I can't imagine that you played with her and soon heard that she's passed away....

Outstanding. Thanks so much for sharing. A few days after this remarkable concert I attended her funeral. Miss her terribly.

Treasure recording. Thank you so much.

Wow! If this woman's playing makes me feel like this then this woman is definitely not dead, if you know what I mean. Now I have to find more of her stuff. Thanks so much for the upload.:)

I discovered the music of the late Ms. Remler three years ago. She was a great guitarist and musician. Thanks for sharing this concert with us.

Thank you so much Tom for sharing this!!! It is wonderful to experience these moments and see Emiliy appear to be so happy and in her element on this night! I grieved a lot back then when I heard she had passed and watching this brings a peace to the whole thing for me..

Thank you so much for sharing this Tom! Priceless footage! Emely seems to be having so much fun.

This is why we have KZfaq. Many thanks to the algorithm that brought me here, and to you, Tom.

Thanks for sharing.

Wow wow wow. Chills. Thanx for posting. Never even heard of her. New fan!! Great band. I feel lucky

thanks for this.

So many thanks for this.

Love this, ty for sharing

Fantastic! Thanks for posting.

Wow! Thanks for posting this!

Thanks so much for sharing this.

Thanks. This is great.

Amazing🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!

Thank you so much ❤

Amazing!

❤ Whilr dating Monty Alexander for 2 years and going on the road he introduced me to Emily. Omgsh she was so talented 😢 Monty later told me what happened buy its hard to believe. I believe another story which I cannot say. Her head was on straight. She was a strong person. Herb Ellis discovered her. God knows what happened ❤

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.

Tom, Thank you so much for sharing. This is a "Treasure." I had never "heard" her or "of heard". Sad loss.

oh that's cool, thanks for upload

Tom--thanks so much for posting this wonderful video of Emily and the band! Very nice solo by the way on the first tune--the rest of the show you sound top notch.

Thank you so much for posting this. Emily was a fabulous musician and great guitar player. sorely missed.

Thank you very very much! I like this video,good band. my first jazz guitar record is FIRE FLY.

She is the angel with a 335 ❤

Tom a great video - it is great listening to your fantastic " " novicicity' piano playing....

Plenty of 'chorus' effect which was heavily popular at this time

Thank you very much for sharing this sir!!🙏 I had the pleasure to see Emily and Larry Corryell play together in the late 80's at the Northsea Jazz Festival. She played sooo good!

ty4 music Em, Tom and crew.

Just came across her wikipedia when I was looking Wes Montgomery's wiki. Just her picture made me interested. Then I saw that she died at 32 years old. Wow Rest in Peace.

Grandiosa.

An album with Larry Coryell is a blast!

Ah Emily. What a player

I love Emily style!!

genial!!

One of the greats😔☮️❤️✨………….Lefuj

Lovely stuff thanks love you solo in How Insensitive

Wow
