The late guitarist's last CD
to be released before her premature death is her finest effort. Emily Remler's
fluid technique brightens such seldom-heard numbers as Clifford Brown's
"Daahoud" and her simplified arrangement of Claude Thornhill's lovely
"Snowfall," as well as more relaxed tunes like "Sweet Georgia
Fame." The polished rhythm section includes the masterful pianist Hank
Jones, bassist Buster Williams, and drummer Marvin "Smitty" Smith.
Highly recommended. ~ by Ken Dryden, AMG.
