Emily Remler was a trailblazing guitarist in the world of jazz, known for her fluid technique and innate sense of swing. Born in New York City on September 18, 1957, Remler's passion for music was fostered from an early age. She took up the guitar at the age of ten, and her affinity for jazz blossomed when she began her studies at Berklee College of Music in Boston. Her career quickly gained momentum after her graduation in 1980, leading to a reputation as one of the genre's most promising talents.

Throughout the 1980s, Emily Remler earned wide acclaim as a talented jazz guitarist and composer. She released several albums, showing a range that spanned swing, bop, and bossa nova styles. Her album "Firefly" (1981) helped establish her as a serious musician in the jazz community, and it was followed by other notable works such as "Transitions" (1983) and "Together" (1984), a collaborative effort with fellow guitarist Larry Coryell. Remler’s homage to her hero Wes Montgomery came with the album "East to Wes" (1988), which is often highlighted as a pinnacle of her career. Sadly, her brilliant career was cut short when she passed away at the age of 32 in 1990. Her posthumously-released "Retrospective Volume Two: Compositions" and "Retrospective, Volume One: Standards" serve as lasting tributes to her extraordinary talent and contributions to jazz music.
