My Take
Emily Remler is an artist whose story always stays with me. A jazz guitarist out of New York and a Berklee graduate, she built a real reputation through the late 1970s and 1980s before dying in 1990 at just 32. That brevity hits hard. I find it remarkable that in roughly a decade she carved out a serious voice on an instrument and in a genre where she was breaking ground as a woman. The records she left behind feel like the start of something rather than a finished arc, and I think that's exactly why her legacy keeps drawing new listeners in.
