Noah Preminger: Contemptment

Noah Preminger Contemptment Steeplechase Noah Preminger has, since the mid-00s, amassed a baker’s dozen of fantastic recordings as a leader, also popping in to be sideman to the likes of Rob Garcia, Julian Shore and Dan Cray.

David Binney: The Time Verses

David Binney The Time Verses Criss Cross This is Binney’s eighth date out in front – and the alt-saxophonist and composer here again captures the quartet he most frequently works with for some New York City jazz; a slick, lovely quartet record that alternates between lithe, loping balladry and more frenetic pieces.

Jonathan Crayford: Dark Light

Dan Weiss: Fourteen

Dan Weiss Fourteen Pi. Recordings Dan Weiss first impressed me via the YouTube clips of him replicating/translating the voice of an auctioneer to drums and the fast-talker guy from a TV advert.
