About
Tenor saxophonist Noah Preminger's debut on Criss Cross in a pianoless context with trumpeter Jason Palmer and bassist Kim Cass, who record here with the brilliant drummer Dan Weiss for the first time on this occasion.
The hour-long program consists of nine Preminger originals. Each evokes a different mood and ambiance with strong melodies and percolating grooves that provoke unfailingly cohesive, thematic improvisations by Preminger and Palmer.
'Genuinity' is consistently compelling, and repays repeated hearings.
Personnel: Noah Preminger (tenor saxophone), Jason Palmer (trumpet), Kim Cass (bass), Dan Weiss (drums)
