4) Emily Remler - Catwalk (Concord Jazz LP/CD) - Why, oh why did the good Lord take this wonderfully talented young lady from us at such a young age.She was only 32 when she died. Remler didn't get to make many recordings in her all too brief life and this is one of her finest. John D'Earth's trumpet perfectly compliments Remler's full bodied guitar sound and the rhythm section of Eddie Gomez and overlooked Bob Moses keep things moving along quite nicely.

Well, if some of what I've read is true, I hardly think it was the good Lord who was sticking that needle in her arm. Although not credited as the cause of her death surely it didn't help.

BUT YOWZA! I've scoured the net and sampled this tasty disc but at the asking prices of 80-90 dollars, it makes your other favorite (dig) Jazz At The Pawn Shop look like a bargain! Seems to be some conflict as to if it's out of print or just hard to find. Any leads?
