In a recent feature in the Boston Globe, Siddhartha Mitter wrote, “all the evidence thus far says Preminger is ahead of the game. He plays with not just chops and composure, but already a distinct voice: His approach privileges mood and reflectiveness, favoring weaving lines that can be complex but are also concise, without a trace of over- playing or bravado."
Other critics have called him “a young and exciting saxophonist who, at the age of 22, seems calm, cool and collected" (Michael P. Gladstone, AllAboutJazz.com) and “a composer of wit, substance, and intrigue whose music requires close listening to reveal all the intricacies therein" (Michael G. Nastos, All Music Guide).
A 2008 graduate of Boston's New England Conservatory, where he studied with such notable musicians as Rakalam Bob Moses and Danilo Prez, Preminger moved to New York this past summer and currently resides in Brooklyn. In addition to his own band, he is already working with a number of established leaders, including Dave Allen, Bruno Raberg and his producer and mentor, John McNeil.
“Noah Preminger may be in his early 20s but the maturity of his musical choices shows he's a good listener and very talented," explains the Hartford Courant's Richard Kamins. “Dry Bridge Road is a very strong start to what one hopes is a long and creative career."
