Emily’s Live Performances Unveiled
A new addition can be found on Emily’s lifeworks menu that will showcase a handful of live performances from her touring days, simply titled Unpublished. This page contains a modest collection of amateur recordings from all over the U.S. and abroad that range considerably in quality yet deliver extraordinary fleeting moments of Emily under the lights and on a stage where she transcended her art. What few concerts exist are coveted jewels of her promise long gone and of immeasurable worth to all that yearn to hear one more song, one more solo, just one more time. Enjoy the sounds, the names and places that are part of this incredible privilege to hear her again, live and unedited.
If you have only admired Emily’s work through her studio albums, prepare to be overjoyed.
It is especially nice to be able to offer these unprecedented recordings as All Things Emily approaches our 3rd year anniversary with you. We are grateful to all our readers, supporters, friends and fans. It has been an enlightening and inspiring experience because of you.
To that kind of unbridled enthusiasm, I can only smile ;.)
I’m ready to be overjoyed!
This looks like a great site.
You are so right Jack, Waiting For Spring is often overlooked and was definitely under the radar in appreciation. It was a superbly polished album, Benoit had an instinctive connection with her right away and it is the perfect time of year to put that album on with it’s festive spirit. Some Other Sunset has that great Bossa feel doesn’t it, Emily was a natural with Latin grooves. If you love Softly As In The Morning Sunrise, take a listen to her duo interp of it with Jay Ashby on the Manchester Craftsmen Guild live recording, I find that version especially heartwarming. Hey, thanks so much for sharing your favorite Emily songs and personal moments. It is her everlasting gift now to continually invoke that “wonderful beginning” for us over and over again. I never grow tired of listening to her.
I was introduced to the remarkable talents of Emily Remler on David Benoit’s album in tribute to both his father and the late pianist Bill Evans, “Waiting for Spring.” Emily’s work on the album is remarkable, particularly on a track called “Some Other Sunset”.
Her studio album, “East to Wes,” is a marvel and her arrangement of “Softly As In A Morning Sunrise,” with jazz piano master Hank Jones is incredibly beautiful music.
I had not known that she was introduced to jazz music by the great Herb Ellis but enjoyed learning that bit of her history.
Wes Montgomery’s album, “Willow Weep For Me,” introduced me to jazz music as a young teenager and Ms. Remler’s remarkable music brought me back to that wornderful beginning. She was a remarkable musician and is remembered and missed.
