Lorraine Feather
 "Lorraine Feather
is easily one of the most creative lyricists
of her generation, and since earning a Grammy
nomination for her 2010 CD Ages, the vocalist
has gained greater attention … surprising,
often humorous song topics and devoid of
predictable Moon/June assembly line lyrics ...
Feather's skills as an actress and her
infectious, versatile voice add to her appeal
Tales of the Unusual is no exception ...
captivating ... magical ... hilarious."
- Ken Dryden, All Music Guide
Lorraine Feather
has wowed the
jazz world with her latest recording "Tales of
the Unusual" (Jazzed Media - 2012). Down
Beat
Magazine calls her “energetic, enchanting and
exceptional.” The
daughter of the famous critic and songwriter
Leonard Feather (and
goddaughter of Billie Holiday), Lorraine has
exploded onto the jazz
scene with her ingenious lyrics, her dazzling
voice, and her
exceptional performances. Lorraine is this
generation’s celebrated jazz
lyricist and singer.
Lorraine's previous
release in 2010, "Ages" was nominated for a
Grammy.
In 2008, her hit
record "Language" was the #1-selling
jazz CD on Amazon the month after its release,
as well as hit #1
on the Jazz
Radio
Charts.
In addition to
Lorraine’s highly acclaimed performances and
albums, she
has accumulated dozens of credits and eight
Emmy nominations for her
work in film and television as a
lyricist. In 2003 she wrote the
lyrics for Disney’s "The Jungle Book 2", and
in 2004, for Julie
Andrews’
first onscreen performance in many years in
"The Princess Diaries 2."
She
is currently working on lyrics for the My
Little Pony film series, and
has been commissioned by New York composer
Stefania deKenessey to
provide lyrics for her opera of Tom Wolfe’s
"The Bonfire of the
Vanities."
Lorraine has made several self-produced videos
to
accompany her CDs. In 2008 she began work on a
fully-animated short
film of one of her Waller adaptations, "You're
Outa Here" (based on
Waller's "The Minor Drag"), co-produced with
"the quintessential
independent American animator" George Griffin.
