Manchester Jazz Festival 2008 features tribute to Emily
Posted on 30 Jun 2008 | Under: Coming Events
If you live in England or plan a visit there soon keep in mind the Manchester Jazz Festival on Saturday, July 26th this summer as jazz guitarists Deirdre Cartwright and Kathy Dyson will perform a tribute show: Remembering Emily, in honor of Remler’s music. Details can be found at Deirdre Cartwright’s website below or click Kathy’s picture on the left to visit Manchester Jazz. Her memory thrives from such performances, support them if you can.

from UK’s MetroLife section where she shares a few thoughts about Emily and why there are too few women jazz guitarists. Certainly a topic that deserves further discussion and evaluation.
Play on ladies.

This was a great gig. Two distinctly different sounding guitarists influenced by Emily giving their take on her music using the original settings. They both were really enjoying themselves and communicated it to the audience. There are still a few wrinkles to be ironed out but I hope this music makes it to cd.
Incidentally I will be presenting some of Emily’s music to the Manchester Jazz Society on September 19th 2008. Details at: http://www.btinternet.com/~jazzworld/mjazzsoc.htm
