SAMPLE QUOTES FROM REVIEWS OF PREVIOUS CDs:

“[New York City Drag] Feather did it at all… applied her witty way with a lyric to a set of vocalese numbers arching through the stunning complexities of Waller's piano lines… tricky inner rhymes, offbeat stories and sardonic references.”
- Don Heckman, Los Angeles Times

“[Café Society] Exciting..impeccably performed..one of the freshest vocal releases you’ll hear
all year.”
- Ed Trefzger, Jazz Week

“[Such Sweet Thunder] Energetic, enchanting and exceptional..she’s utterly comfortable and confident...sings her meticulous, clever poetry in a silvery, light voice...”
- Carol Sloane, Down Beat

“[Dooji Wooji] After last year's brilliant sojourn through Ellingtonia with the dazzling Such Sweet Thunder, it's hard to imagine Feather outdoing the creative voodoo she's summoned thus far... hard, that is, until you wade into Dooji Wooji (Sanctuary) and hear her conjure a dozen new magical flights of fancy.”
—Christopher Loudon, Jazz Times
