Haymaker

Описание

Haymaker sees Preminger lead a kindred-spirit band of top-flight players: guitarist Ben Monder, double-bassist Matt Pavolka and drummer Colin Stranahan. The album showcases a brace of fresh Preminger compositions, along with one number penned by Monder, the Annie standard Tomorrow and a cover of jam-band rocker Dave Matthews Don t Drink the Water. Blending atmosphere and energy, the Noah Preminger Group can remind a listener of the Motian/Frisell/Lovano trio in one tune and the Mark Turner/Kurt Rosenwinkel pairings in the next even as this band has its own, individual soundprint. Haymaker is modern jazz that balances musical integrity with sensual allure.
