Mar 26, 2011 - "I may look like a nice Jewish girl from New Jersey, but inside I'm a 50-year-old, heavyset black man with a big thumb, like Wes Montgomery." -Emily Remler

Apr 5, 2011 - octaves are tricky to finger on the guitar easier on the piano with a locked hand technique

May 7, 2011 - Just the fact that she dares to take on this classic is a plus. But she does a very good job in transferring the sax to guitar.

Jun 6, 2011 - Today I'd probably rate Mimi Fox as a far more dazzling and adventurous female guitarist than Emily ever was. However for sheer enjoyment and emotional involvement I'd rather listen to Emily anytime. And let's face it, Emily was the first of the top recognized female jazz guitarists

Jul 7, 2011 - No, i think her addiction was due to her insecurity & nervousness set around being a female playing jazz guitar.Her other interview video on ytube explains it. Stage fright has alot to do with alcohol & drug addiction...very seldom is it connected to emulating a hero.The pressure to be imaginative every night.This was how Joe Pass explained HIS addiction to heroin.Her loss leaves a HUGE vacuum because she was unique and one of the few who could really swing.

taildragger53 Says:

Jul 7, 2011 - I think she married Masakowski didn't she? I recall she was married to pianist Monty Alexander for a brief time. I saw her live in 1986 with Herb Ellis.Oh, Masakowski is a KILLER player.I agree with you, SRV was into the Clapton/Hendrix mode but to be a jazz guitarist requires technical skill way beyond a mere riffer. Real imaginative ideas are needed.As Wes said "One can't play LICKS in a jazz setting. If you do you run out of them within 3 mins"This is an amazing video.

Jul 7, 2011 - According to a book written by a famous living jazz guitarist Emily had quit drugs for a long time but got into a terrible nervous state whilst touring and begged him for cash to score one last time. He refused but somehow she got cash and hit the Aussie streets to look for a dealer. The surge of heroin after withdrawal for a long period caused a massive heart attack.It's pure tragedy. If she'd lived on she would've taken on the World. 100% talent.

emjee Says:

Dec 30, 2011 - To quote James Taylor, "In New York in the late 60's and early 70's it was just as easy to find heroin as beer. It was everywhere you looked". Nuff said.

anfiorsceal Says:

Feb 17, 2012 - yea sure... it's a standard jazz blues sequence in the typical key of Bb ( sax players like it) ... check youtube for lessons on jazz blues comping. If you're used to rock blues- there's the same 12 bars but a lot of intervening chords that match the walking bass lines - notice the turnaround -the last 2 bars - they'll change the sequence for different choruses. the Drummer has to swing on the cymbal - not heavy 4/4 like rock. Hope this helps.
