inger and lyricist Lorraine Feather this week releases her fourth album in ﬁve years, Dooji Wooji (Sanctuary).

York at 18 to pursue acting. Feather took up singing to make ends meet; that led her to writing lyrics and her current career as both a writer and performer. JazzWeek caught up with Lorraine Feather recently while she made a quick swing to the east coast accompa- nied by Shelly Berg, with performances in Rochester, N.Y., and at the Kennedy Center in Washington. JW: While many fans of your albums know your skills as a lyricist from those recordings, they may not realize how prolific a lyricist you are. How did you get started writing lyrics? LF: I started writing lyrics seriously when I was with the group Full Swing during the eighties. The producer, Richard Perry, had this idea of adapting a particular tune written by Tommy Newsom that he liked. I had always wanted to do the Lam- bert, Hendricks and Ross type of thing – write lyrics to complicated melodies – and so I nominated myself as the lyricist. And of course, he rejected the first thing that I did. But then eventually I wrote something he liked and I ended up writing lyrics for about half of that album. I had only just started writing lyrics. I had been working as a singer in clubs for a few years and as soon as I had done a couple of lyrics, I became smitten with the whole process. From then on, it became the thing that I love doing the most. What are some of the highlights of your work as a lyricist? I’ve gotten seven Emmy nominations. The first one I got was very exciting, but then after not winning a few times, the shine wore off a little bit. [Opera singer] Jessye Norman sang a song for which I wrote lyrics at the 1996 Olympics and that was very exciting. A lot of the time, the writing of the song itself is really a highlight. If I do something, and I know it came out well, it’s very exciting. It’s really a rush. You’ve written lyrics and performed them on works from Fats Waller and Duke Ellington that are even more difficult than some of the vocalese treat- ments of bebop tunes. Which is harder, fitting a lyric to a complex melody, or singing it after you’ve written it? Oh, singing is much harder. (Laughs.) There’s no comparison.

That’s one thing that had the audience in awe when I saw your live perfor- continued ... jazzweek.com • May 11, 2005 JazzWeek 14 Q&A: Lorraine Feather (continued)

mance – your rapid-fire delivery. It’s pretty easy for me. I don’t consider myself to have a spectacular voice, but it is flexible. So I discovered when I was writing these pieces that I do have a good facility for skipping over the intervals and singing quickly. You learn to a certain extent how to sing a song while you’re writing the song, because you have to sing it to write it. At least I do. On Dooji Wooji, you recorded with a small big band, a la Ellington’s or Ben- ny Goodman’s bands of the 1930s, and you’ve written lyrics to Ellington tunes of that period and a little later. Plus the original songs on the album have that style. Do you have a special affinity to the music of that era? I do. I became really taken with the music of the thirties when I was researching the Ellington album (Such Sweet Thunder.) I came up with the idea for this album because at the time I was not allowed to record Ellington tunes that were controlled by a particular publisher who had the rights to most of the tunes from the thirties, so I thought it might be interesting and fun to work on original tunes that spoke to that era somewhat, though they always come out dif- ferently than the way you expect. The songs I wrote with Eddie Arkin, Russell Ferrante, Bill Elliott, and Shelly Berg were mostly based on some tune or other from that era that I was taken with. It’s a very “jumpin’ time” as [San Francisco Examiner jazz critic emeritus] Phil Elwood puts it. There’s a certain mys- terious quality from a lot of the music of the thirties to me as well. How does the process of writing with a living song writer differ for you from adapting lyrics to existing tunes? Most of the time, I write the lyrics first. I usually speak them in rhythm or I sing a dummy melody that’s far inferior to what they’re going to write. But I know these people quite well at this point, and I don’t expect them to stick closely to what I do if they come up with another idea. Often, they might have some sort of musical line that doesn’t fit with what I’m doing, and so then I adapt, and we go back and forth. It’s much more collaborative, obviously. (Laughs.) You choose interesting subjects and some quirky points of view sometimes, and certainly incorporate a lot of humor. Where do those ideas and that viewpoint come from? continued ... jazzweek.com • May 11, 2005 JazzWeek 15 Q&A: Lorraine Feather (continued)

I don’t know; it’s a mystery to me. But I think that I get a particular kick out of it because I do work for hire as a lyricist quite a bit and there are always people telling you what to say and what not to say, and certain obvious restrictions if you’re writing for a certain age group. So when I’m writing for myself, I just let my imagination run wild. Obviously, I don’t use any profanity or anything that would stop the songs from being played on the radio. I don’t really know where it comes from. It’s a combination of reality, fantasy, things I overhear other people saying, stories I’ve heard in movies. When I was in New York while I was in the midst of recording Dooji Wooji, I was in a hotel hall and I heard some radio broadcast and they were talking about Jimmy Hoffa, and I thought, “I’d really like to mention Jimmy Hoffa in a song sometime.” And so I did. I put him in the song “Cicada Time” for no particular reason; I just thought it would be funny to mention Jimmy Hoffa. Or Eleanor Roosevelt ... Right –“With her pithy little quotes.” (A lyric from “Tryin’ to Get Over”.) Are you a bit of a linguistic stickler? Sometimes when people are trying to fit lyrics to an existing tune, they will put the emphasis on the wrong syllable. You never do that. I try not to. Every now and then, I’ll look at something I’ve done and wish I had done it a little more perfectly, but I try to keep to the correct prosody [the patterns of stress and intonation in a language.] I try to keep the syllables natural. That’s one of the things I worry about when I give lyrics to somebody. For ex- ample, if something’s being recorded and I’m not in town, because I don’t live in L.A. anymore, I always like to listen at the demo to make sure that if the music is changed at the last minute that the emphasis does not fall on the wrong syllable, because that does bother me. At several IAJE conferences, you’ve participated in panels with other prolific writers such as Bob Dor- ough, Mark Winkler, and Marilyn Harris promoting new songs for the jazz repertoire. What are your thoughts about artists recording new or different songs? Do singers rely too much on the same standards? I get a little tired of hearing them, but it’s not fair to criticize people for doing that because they are fantastic songs and not everybody is a songwriter. It’s more difficult to put together an album that has a distinct point of view when continued ... jazzweek.com • May 11, 2005 JazzWeek 16 Q&A: Lorraine Feather (continued)

you are not a writer. I would imagine that it takes a lot of work. But I always enjoy hearing – for instance Madeleine Peyroux “Dance Me To The End of Love” [by Leonard Cohen] – that’s just a great track. And I loved hearing it because it’s a song that I didn’t remember, and the lyrics are just killer, and she does it beautifully. It’s perfect for her voice and it’s very fresh. Who are your song writing heroes? Steven Sondheim is god to me. I saw some of his shows in New York when I was a teenager and I just revere him beyond anything. As well as being maybe the best lyricist alive, P.S., he also composes. His standard is hard to meet. I’m crazy about him. I love Johnny Mercer as well, and I used to sing the Joni Mitchell Court & Spark album, sing along with it once a day for quite a while when it was out. I like Steely Dan. At one point I was going to work with Walter Becker – he heard this album I did a few years ago that was pretty quirky and that wasn’t exactly a jazz album – he was going to produce, and then it sort of fell apart. I like his and Donald Fagen’s writing because it’s quirky and funny, and you don’t get much of that. Although you’ve been singing for a couple of decades, it’s only in the past five years or so as you’ve been recording that you’ve begun to tour a bit. It’s only just started recently, because over the past few years I’ve slow- ly built up enough momentum so that I really do get quite a few emails from people and requests to come play somewhere. So I now have someone booking me. This is going to be the first year when I really get out there on the road. I’m trying to juggle it; I have four writing jobs going on right now. Luckily, I have a Powerbook and there’s a lot of down time when you’re traveling, so I can interweave them. I particularly love performing with Shelly. We’re really kindred spirits and we’ve done a lot of duo gigs together, too. Pianist Shelly Berg, who had a JazzWeek Jazz It really does seem like you’ve found the ideal accompanist in Shelly Chart No. 1 album with Blackbird (Concord) earlier Berg. I was amazed at the way he can transition through so many this year, is a “kindred spirit,” Lorraine Feather styles, and he’s so full of energy. How did you connect up with him? says about her accompanist. I had been looking for someone to work with me to do a few live gigs with me to promote the Fats Waller album (New York City Drag.) There are a few people around the country who do [stride piano], but I was thinking maybe someone in L.A. It’s very difficult to play stride. You have to have big hands; it’s really hard; it takes a lot of practice. I had sent the album to a few L.A. musicians who literally were just laughing with peals of laughter when they called me back. They said, “No, I don’t think I could do this. I’m not going to play this. Good luck!” continued ... jazzweek.com • May 11, 2005 JazzWeek 17 Q&A: Lorraine Feather (continued)

By the time someone had suggested Shelly, I had given up. I went, “Yeah, yeah, fine. I’ll give him a call.” I got together with him and he said, “Yeah. You know what? I could work this up.” And damned if he didn’t. It just amazes me. Now, he’ll occasionally play of these stride pieces on his own when he’s out and about. He’s gotten to love it. I told him once, jokingly, that my goal was to make mine the hardest book he had to play, and he said, “Oh, you’ve done that.” How do you like getting out on the road? Well, it’s a little early to say because I’ve done it mostly on the two coasts. But there are things about it I like; there are things about it I don’t like. I’m a vegetarian, for the most part, and I’m so used to eating my own food at home that it’s difficult. ... Being in a hotel is different than being in your own space. But the part I really like is when I look out and I see people’s faces and they respond and they’re really delighted. It makes it so worthwhile because that’s what you do it for: to communicate and make them laugh and give them some kind of musical experience. So that part of it, I just love. As a child, you must have been exposed to so many legends – besides your parents. Did you realize that at the time? What influence has that had on your career? I didn’t realize it at all at the time. I didn’t under- stand what my father did. I used to ask my mother to explain it to me. I, of course, was around a lot of those people. Dizzy Gillespie was close to my folks, and Benny Carter. I met Billie Holiday, but I don’t really remember. I think because I never thought of myself as having much of a voice, it just didn’t occur to me to sing. I started out trying to be an actress and later, when I fell into singing out of des- peration just to make grocery money, and then discovered lyric writing and started going on that path, I realized that everything I listened to in my child- hood had a huge effect on me, and I fully appreciated what a gift it was to be steeped in all that music because it’s just part of me.
