Noah Gershwin

Noah Gershwin is a guitarist and composer currently residing in New York City.

 As an active performer, Noah explores pushing the boundaries of free improvisation within the confines of the jazz idiom. 

Since moving to NYC, Noah has performed in venues such as The Stone and Bar Bayeux and has collaborated with artists such as Okkyung Lee, Billy Hart, Immanuel Wilkins, Ben Street and Jochen Rueckert. Noah has had the privilege to perform both nationally and internationally at festivals such as the Iowa City Jazz Festival and The Banff International Workshop in Jazz and Creative Music. 

 With his collaborative jazz quartet, Junior Ranger, Noah had the opportunity to participate in the Avaloch Farm Music Institute as well as tour in the Netherlands as a result of being awarded the CIGSIE Grant for Study in Dutch Improvisation. 

A graduate of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, Noah was fortunate to study with Bobby Ferrazza, Gary Bartz, Billy Hart, Robin Eubanks, Jay Ashby, Jamey Haddad and Paul Samuels. 

Hailing from Philadelphia, Noah got his start performing and later teaching at institutions such as The Philadelphia Clef Club of Jazz and Performing Arts, West Oak Lane Jazz Festival, and Summer Jazz Academy at Solebury School; studying with legendary guitarist Steve Giordano and under Mr. Lovett Hines.
