Cookin’ at the Queens: Live in Las Vegas (1984 and 1988) is the first release in 33 years from the unsung jazz guitar great Emily Remler, and it’s a previously unreleased collection of performances that were broadcast on KNPR Las Vegas as part of Alan Grant's "4 Queens Jazz Night from Las Vegas” weekly radio program in 1984 and 1988. Released in cooperation with the Emily Remler Estate, the limited-edition 180-gram 3-LP set is mastered for vinyl from the original tape reels in the UNLV archives by Bernie Grundman, and features quartet performances with pianist Cocho Arbe, bassist Carson Smith and drummer Tom Montgomery (1984), and trio performances with bassist Carson Smith and drummer John Pisci (1988). The deluxe package includes liner notes by acclaimed author Bill Milkowski, plus interviews and statements from many other artists who knew or were inspired by Emily Remler, such as Sheryl Bailey, Russell Malone, David Benoit, Mike Stern, Rodney Jones, Mimi Fox, Jocelyn Gould, Amanda Monaco and many, many others.
