4.0 out of 5 stars She really could swing, May 24, 2000

A Wonderful overview of Remler's guitar playing on various standards. Some small group cuts and a couple duets with Larry Coryell show Remler as a traditionally voiced but modern, creative improviser. Too bad she's gone -- she really could swing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Star, Please, July 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Retrospective, Vol. 1: Standards (Audio CD)

Maybe I'm too easy, but plenty of lesser works get five stars. I've listened to four of her albums, and on each one, Emily Remler demonstrated rare generosity, i.e., she shared the stage. I like Transitions a little better, but still, this is some fine music.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the best rendition on "How Insensitive", April 13, 2001

The arrangement on "How Insensitive" was quite superb - far better than many others I have heard, and was played out clearly to deliver a sense of emotional despair as it was orginally written by FC.
