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 jamband rocker Dave Matthews' 'Don't Drink the Water.' Haymaker is modern jazz that balances musical integrity with sensual allure.
