    Tom, the real thanks goes to the NE Jazz Society for making their archives available to the public but appreciate your sentiments and happy in the thought that Emily’s sound creates a moment for you. Share her name with someone else, that’s what it’s all about…

    We didn’t get to hear the “Solo” portion of her repertoire enough, which makes the few that have come to recent light especially joyous. What a wonderful keepsake you have and can recall as you listen to this performance…
    Appreciate the feedback and by the way, how’s the transcription of Sweet Georgie Fame coming along? Requests keep rolling in for that one, I respond with: coming soon….
    Take care.

    Thanks for sharing Lu, truly fine stuff. I saw Emily at the Back Stage in Seattle about 1988. Before the trio started, she came out and played an entire warmup set doing solo things similar to what’s featured here…what a special night of great playing.
