SUMMARY:Noah Preminger Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Born in 1986\, Preminger grew up in Canton\, Connecticut\, before going to Hall High School in West Hartford – the institution that produced several well-known jazz musicians. From the first day he picked up the saxophone\, Preminger “knew I’d become a musician\,” he recalls. “I would practice eight hours a day as a young teenager. I was possessed.” \nPreminger released his debut album\, Dry Bridge Road\, just after his 21st birthday and was named Debut of the Year in the Village Voice Critics Poll. Since then\, he has been a two-time winner of Downbeat Magazine’s Rising Star Best Tenor Saxophonist and has recorded over 20 critically acclaimed albums as a band-leader. He has performed jazz concerts on key stages around the globe\, playing with a pantheon of contemporary jazz talents. \nTwo new recordings were released by Preminger: Ballads (Chill Tone) featuring pianist Julian Shore\, bassist Kim Cass\, and drummer Allan Mednard\, as well as Dark Days (Criss Cross)\, which features guitarist Ely Perlman\, bassist Kim Cass\, and drummer Terreon Gully.
