Born in the Catskill mountains of New York, she drew inspiration from the late-’50s New York jazz and theater scenes. Ms. Feigenbaum’s musical training included jazz studies at the Dick Grove School of Music in Los Angeles, CA, contemporary music studies at the College of Santa Fe in Santa Fe, NM, and focused studies with mentors George Boujie, Joel di Bartolo, David Parlato, Bob Barnes (a student of Lennie Tristano), Jack Millman, and Fred Steiner.
