Shimrit Shoshan: Keep It Movin’

Noah Preminger Quartet, Boston, February 23
by Gordon Marshall
Noah PremingerScullers Jazz ClubBoston, Mass.February 23, 2011 To judge by his sophomore effort, Before the Rain (Palmetto, 2011), tenor saxophonist Noah Preminger's singular forte is the reinvention of the ballad.
