Lorraine Feather
Lorraine Feather has wowed the
jazz world with her latest recording "Language." 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 most
recent solo project is "Language," which was released in April of 2008
on Jazzed Media. The songs were written with contemporary composers
Shelly Berg, Russell Ferrante, Bill Elliott, Eddie Arkin, Michael B.
Nelson, Terry Sampson and Tony Morales. Language was the #1-selling
jazz CD on Amazon the month after its release, as well as hit #1
on the Jazz
Radio
Charts.
Lorraine’s
previous album, "Dooji Wooji" (May, 2005, Sanctuary Records), is a
natural progression from the projects she has done since 1999, which
have featured a combination of well-known instrumental pieces with her
contemporary lyrics. The reviews for Dooji Wooji were
outstanding and numerous.
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.
