She recorded and performed with Wycliffe Gordon on his “Hello Pops!” tribute to Louis Armstrong, and was a member of Nicholas Payton’s Television Studio Orchestra. “Ms. Asher plays with both grit and grace” (Will Friedwald, The Wall Street Journal) and has shared the stage with a wide variety of artists including Tony Bennett, Carol Burnett, Mø, Talib Kweli, Chaka Khan, Terri Lyne Carrington, and many others. Emily’s debut album, Dreams May Take You, featuring Wycliffe Gordon, was officially released April 15, 2012. June 6, 2013 marked the release of Emily Asher’s Garden Party’s six song EP: Carnival of Joy! a celebration of Hoagy Carmichael which the Wall Street Journal called a “superior album.” Endangered Species Trio, A "concentrated chamber group with the intriguing instrumentation of accordion, bass saxophone and trombone" (Seattle Times) released their six-song EP Home on the Range in November, 2014. Her most recent release from 2015 is titled for Asher's original composition, "Meet Me in the Morning."
