Her music is solid. Being a Jersey person she was in a good spot to see/hear/study the greats.

Another non-singing jazz guitarist I marvel at is Frank Vignola, a New Yorker grew up at the feet of masters like Joe Pass and Bucky Pizzarelli. He's more commercial than Emily, plays a broader range of jazz/pop styles, and he includes some Catskilly schtick into his sets.
Frank frequently tours with a guy named Vinnie Raniolo who auditioned to tour as Franks bassist. Turns out Vinnie was first and foremost a guitarist too, and quite capable of doubling Frank.
