Noah Preminger Quartet – Jazz Concert

Noah Preminger Quartet – Jazz Concert

MAC is pleased to bring Noah Preminger  to our stage as part of this season’s Jazz Series.

Background.  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.”

Body of Work.  Preminger 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.  

New Works In 2025.  Two 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.

Accomplishments. 

• Preminger is currently on faculty at Longy School of Music of Bard College.
• Noah serves as a board member for JazzBoston, 
• Managed a radio program for 7 years on NPR-affiliate, 90.5 WICN.

Fun Fact.  Noah researched a distant relation, the film director Otto Preminger,  which culminated in the album Preminger Plays Preminger.  It isn’t an album of refurbished movie themes by any means.   More Info.

Quotes.  

The New York Times declares: “Mr. Preminger designs a different kind of sound for each note, an individual destiny and story.” 

The Boston Globe hails Preminger as “A master with standards and ballads, as well as an adventurous composer.” 

 Jazz Times notes that “… he has forged an individual style and easily recognizable sound…one of the more adventurous musicians on the mainstream jazz scene today.”
