The Leonard Feather Music Catalog

British journalist Leonard Feather was the author of eleven books on jazz. He produced Dinah Washington, Charlie Parker, Sarah Vaughan and Lester Young, among others, and wrote the album notes for literally thousands of LPs. The navigation on the left will guide you through these years.

Feather was also a composer and lyricist. His work was recorded by many of the most notable jazz artists. Above are some selected songs from his music catalog. They are limited to 30 seconds each for legal reasons.
