Noah Preminger Quartet

Noah Preminger is an adventurist on stage and in daily life—along with being a saxophonist, he is a longtime boxer, as well as an enthusiastic skydiver and skier and a devotee of games of competition, whether golf or ping-pong. Improvising in front of an audience is an exhilarating enterprise for him, but also an emotional outlet: ‘All my music is about emotion’, says the New York-based jazz musician, who will perform at the BIMHUIS with his quartet.
Recently, Noah Preminger released the album Preminger Plays Preminger, with music from films by Otto Preminger, his distant relative. This highly valued director has collaborated with similarly legendary composers. For example, the jazz soundtrack for Preminger’s crime film Anatomy of a Murder (1959) was created by Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn. Ellington even plays a small role in the film.
In relation to this afternoon concert at the BIMHUIS, Anatomy of a Murder will be screened in the evening by the Eye Film Museum. Click here to find out more. .
