New studio songs from Emily emerge
The biggest news of 2007 comes from distinguished New Zealand drummer Frank Gibson who was instrumental in this reissue of visiting American Jazz artists to New Zealand during the early ’80′s that includes two new unpublished songs from Emily, her last ever studio recordings on 4/24/90.

It’s a rare blessing to have new Emily songs to cherish.
