Australian Music Centre | Breaking sound barriers

Event Details

This very personal journey into words and music by two of Australia’s most respected musicians sees reinterpretations of some of the great love songs of the past 50 years.

The effect on audiences is palpable as Kate an Paul present stripped back renditions of love songs which were selected because of their ability to connect on a deep emotional level and more importantly, because they have influenced both artists at some point in their lives.

As the high priestess of pop and an award-winning jazz singer, Kate has lived the rockstar life jazz vocalists dream of. In the wake of her 24 albums, countless awards, TV appearances, festival highlight performances and generally prolific creative output, Kate stands as the icon emerging artists appeal to for hope, integrity and pride in their work.

She is more than a National Treasure, she is a cultural diplomat and carries with her the torch to light a thousand paths for the future of live jazz vocalists everywhere.

The two have not worked as intimately since their legendary heydays together at the Continental in Prahran in 1996. Paul’s contribution to Australian jazz is vast and deep, and his influence underscores generations with his wise, wonderful and whimsical way of approaching music making.
