Noah Preminger on the JodyJazz HR* Tenor Sax Mouthpiece
"I can't imagine ever playing another piece other than my Jody 10* hard rubber mouthpiece. It's very free blowing and allows for many different colors and expressions. From when I'm playing quietly to when I want to blow the roof off the place, I just simply feel more in control of the sound.. and it's a huge sound I get with this piece! Plus, the pitch is very solid in all registers. Jody's amazing craftsmanship couldn't be more highly recommended.

Noah Preminger Biography
Currently living in Brooklyn, NY, jazz saxophonist Noah Preminger has been receiving stellar recognition almost immediately after hitting the scene. This past year, Noah received a nomination for "Up and Coming Jazz Artist of 2009" by the Jazz Journalists Association. Ben Ratliff of the New York Times raves about Preminger's debut recording, Dry Bridge Road: "More than just a promising starting point, this is a display of integrity; here’s a musician you feel you can trust... unusually graceful... [he] plays with care and dry precision, dividing his time among all registers, with even tone and projection in each." Noah's playing and his group's concepts are influenced by genres ranging from classic to contemporary jazz, from hard rock to ambient music. It is Preminger's uniqueness that sets him aside from other musicians: "He plays with not just chops and composure, but already a distinct voice."- Siddartha Mitter, Boston Globe.
Noah has had the opportunity to perform and work with Dave Liebman, John McNeil, Steve Davis, Nat Reeves, Dave Douglas, Joel Frahm, Dave Holland, John and Bucky Pizzarelli, Marvin Stamm, Kendra Shank, Jim McNeely, Phil Grenadier, Roscoe Mitchell, Bob Nieske, Tony Moreno, Cecil McBee, Bob Moses and others. As of recently, Noah has been an important member of groups including his own Noah Preminger Sextet and Quartet, Cecil McBee’s “Transcend” Group, Rob Garcia 4, the John McNeil Group, the Dana Lauren Group and others. He has been fortunate to play all over the world for audiences small and large. Noah earned his BM at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston. Noah's debut album, Dry Bridge Road, considered as "jazz debut of the year" by the prestigious Village Voice poll, is available on the Nowt Records label. The band includes: Russ Johnson- trumpet, Ben Monder- guitar, Frank Kimbrough- piano, John Hebert- bass, Ted Poor- drums and Noah Preminger-saxophone.

Preminger’s upcoming release, “Slow Dance”, will be release at the beginning of summer 2010. “Slow Dance” features Ben Monder- guitar, Ted Poor- drums, Dominique Eade- voice and Preminger- saxophone. |
