	The Leonard Feather Scrapbooks - Feather Obituary
		Leonard Feather, who passed away on September 22, nine days after his 80th birthday, always insisted that John Hammond was the most important of all jazz critics.
		A singular aspect of Feather's encyclopedias (four volumes and two yearbooks) was the accent on stylistic influence and musicians' perspective; his poll queries attempted to suss out the generational and lateral connections that soon became a constant in jazz criticism.
		Leonard was a sober writer; sometimes dour; he had little patience with the glib hyperbole that is forever uncovering "perfect" solos and dubbing every musician "jazz's greatest" this or that.

	Dinah Washington, Live at Birdland 1962, Liner Notes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Feather had been friends ever since he produced her album in 1959, and she could not wait to inform him that she was recording a new album and I was producing it.
		In many album liner notes Leonard Feather had written for Dinah, one thing he kept repeating was "there was no voice like Dinah's and never will be." I do agree that hers was one of the most recognizable and possibly the most powerful among the singers of her generation.
		Leonard Feather could not place the names at that moment by hearing it in a small radio-cassette player, but told me that he would listen to the tape at home later.

		Feather setting her own wickedly clever lyrics to the quirky music of the legendary Fats Waller.
		Feather's voice is a delight: supple, Pure, sensuous, wide ranging; her diction excellent -- an absolute necessity for following her 100-words-a-minute words on the uptempo numbers.
		Feather pays own special tribute to Waller in her re-fashioned "Numb Fumblin'" which she calls "In Living Balck and White": "He was a rascal to remember and he's captured here in living fl and white, a cutie on his left, an empty brandy bottle on his right."

	GABOR SZABO: PERFORMANCES 1974 - 1981
		Leonard Feather reviews a post-Hungary Szabo performance at Donte's (during the weekend of 11/8-11/10) for the November 23, 1974, issue of Melody Maker (and in the November 15, 1974, Los Angles Times under the headline "Gabor Szabo Quartet Borders On Boredom").
		Feather calls the performance monotonous and accuses Szabo of failing "to live up to the standards of which he has shown himself capable in earlier years." Songs performed included "Rambler," the show's opener, "It's So Hard To Say Goodbye," "Mizrab" and Szabo's "perennial and charming blues theme" ("Comin' Back").
		Although Leonard Feather reported that Szabo had announced his retirement in late 1980, the guitarist was actually playing some of the most creative and challenging music of his career at this time.

		Given the right exposure, Fahn could well be responsible for a renaissance of a horn too long neglected in jazz circles.
