Since emerging on the London jazz scene in 1966 with an engagement at Ronnie Scott's Club opposite Roland Kirk, Norma Winstone has worked with many of the innovators on the British and European scene. Her unique voice could be said to define an entire era of British and European Jazz, from reinventions of The Great American Songbook to more abstract excursions into vocal timbre. She recorded five albums for the iconic German record label, ECM with the group Azimuth, with John Taylor and Kenny Wheeler. Her own album for ECM, "Somewhere Called Home" with John Taylor and saxophonist/clarinettist Tony Coe, has become one of the classic vocal albums of all time.

She was awarded an MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours List for services to music in 2007. Her latest album 'Dance without Answer" was released on ECM in 2013

"Right now, she is at the peak of her form...
there is no jazz singer in the country to touch her." Alyn Shipton, The Times, London

Emily Remembered invokes the spirit of the late great New York jazz guitarist Emily Remler, who died of heart failure at the age of 32 in 1990.

Their two distinctive voices on the guitar create an intimate guitar sound performing swing, bossa and bop arranged and written by Remler, as well as their own compositions and jazz standards.
