Dark Days reflects the eminent tenor saxophonist's overall state of mind in 2024. "I was deep in hell, " he says, reflecting on a year when he experienced chronic health issues (since resolved) and a divorce. "It was a dark time." Throughout the year, Preminger could count on an opportunity "to wash away the dust of everyday life, " as Art Blakey once put it, at his weekly Friday-Saturday engagement at Wally's Jazz Caf' in Boston, where he performed and developed the tunes that appear on this kinetic, conversational, virtuosically executed quartet recital. The album was recorded December 14, 2024 at the Samurai Hotel.
