"More than just a promising starting point, this is a display of integrity; here’s a musician you feel you can trust... Preminger’s album “Dry Bridge Road” is unusually graceful... [he] plays with care and dry precision, dividing his time among all registers, with even tone and projection in each." - Ben Ratliff, New York Times
"He plays with not just chops and composure, but already a distinct voice: His approach privileges mood and reflectiveness, favoring weaving lines that can be complex but are also concise, without a trace of over-playing or bravado. - Siddhartha Mitter, Boston Globe
"... Noah Preminger makes an impressive debut, accompanied by a stellar crew of New Yorkers..." - Bill Milkowski, JazzTimes magazine
"There's a buzz around the young tenor player with the arid tone, the fleet lines, and the thick ideas... it's deep stuff: harmonically daring and compositionally rich." - Jim Macnie, Village Voice
"[Preminger] guides his solos with a logic that’s unrushed.. introspective.. balancing clean execution... His six originals (out of nine total tracks) are structurally layered, mercurial, flirting with abstraction but unabashed about melody and groove. Placed end to end, they tell a compelling story." - David Adler, Timeout NY
"Preminger seems to have arrived on the scene fully-formed, with incisive musical instincts, a distinctive personal sound, and an ability to write great tunes... I was totally taken aback by Preminger's fearless, assured, and cliché-free soloing... The compositions are fresh, the band provides totally committed, no-holds-barred backing and truly inspired solos... On the basis of repeated listens to 'Dry Bridge Road', I can safely conclude that Noah Preminger is definitely for real." - David Wayne, Jazz Review
"Preminger is a more than promising young tenor saxophonist whose cohorts on this recording debut reflect the esteem in which he is held..." - Ray Comiskey, Irish Times (Dublin)
"Wunderkind..." - Jeff Dayton-Johnson, All About Jazz
"Noah Preminger, in his early 20s, is a tenor sax giant who finds new chord changes that sound harmonious and urgent at the same time. Hear his view of ominous beauty on Dry Bridge Road." - Chuck Graham, Tucson Citizen
