Emily Remler - East to Wes (1988)

Here Emily continues to raise her game. Her fluid technique brightens such seldom heard numbers as the Clifford Brown’s melodic “Daahoud” and her luminous arrangement of Claude Thornhill’s lovely “Snowfall”. Also included is the relaxed rendition of “Sweet Georgia Fame”, the first ever guitar version of “Hot House”, her incredible props for Herb Ellis in “Blues For Herb” and of course the tribute to Wes, “East To Wes”, for which she explains, “Wes was one of the greatest improvisers I ever heard. His feeling was happy, his soul was beautiful. He made listener’s feel.” The polished rhythm section includes the masterful pianist Hank Jones, bassist Buster Williams, and drummer Marvin “Smitty” Smith. Maybe her best Swing album ever.

” Emily Remler’s time is so sure, so flowing, that it’s as natural to her as breathing. So is her warmth – of tone and conception. She’s a natural story-teller, keeping the narrative line alive with an exact sense of dynamics and color. “
