Founded in 2014, Feathery Quartet draws its inspiration from diverse musical traditions: jazz, Middle-Eastern, Eastern European, 20th and 21st century classical music. It performs original compositions written by Lena Bloch and Russ Lossing. 
Based on collective improvising, Feathery's musical approach consists of blurring the lines between composition and spontaneous invention, between written and improvised sections, producing a story-telling continuity, presented with a sense of mutual trust and freedom. 
The ensemble's name refers to lightness, flexibility, readiness to drift in the new directions - like a feather in the wind.
Brian Morton, in his liner notes to Feathery's recent album "Rose Of Lifta", writes: "It is music about life, a continuous suite of dances and narratives, the voice of someone telling her and their story, arrestingly and thoughtfully." 
"It is a rare and most pleasant surprise to encounter music that is new and different and find it instantly likable. This is truly musical togetherness, creating a sound all its own." - Dan Morgenstern
