Emily Remler chronology

Take Two is the second studio album by jazz guitarist Emily Remler. The record is credited to "The Emily Remler Quartet", and Remler was joined on the recording by pianist James Williams, bassist Don Thompson, and drummer Terry Clarke. Williams was best known at the time for his four years with The Jazz Messengers, and Thompson and Clarke frequently worked together as part of the Jim Hall Trio.

Jazz musician and critic Leonard Feather wrote at the liner notes of this album that "Emily Remler has made a swift and admirable advance from promising but uncertain youngster to creative and fast growing professional" and defined "Take Two" as a "carefully planned and brilliant executed set of performances".[1]

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "Emily Remler's second recording as a leader finds the 24-year-old guitarist still very much playing in the Wes Montgomery vein, although showing her own musical personality here and there".[2]
