Today, the Spotlight shines On renowned saxophonist Noah Preminger.Boston-based saxophonist Noah Preminger has spent years pushing jazz into new territories before focusing on one of the art form's most enduring traditions. He's just released Ballads (Chill Tone, 2025), a collection that finds this restless musical explorer settling into the quiet power of beautiful melodies.
Noah's built his reputation on bold musical choices—from stark Delta blues interpretations to intricate duo sessions with bassist Kim Cass. But with this new record, he's aiming for something different—capturing that feeling when a saxophonist plays "as if it's their last day on earth," as he puts it.
Recorded with pristine clarity, Ballads features Noah alongside Cass, pianist Julian Shore, and drummer Allan Mednard, creating music that feels both timeless and deeply personal.
