Kate Ceberano and Her Septet

[1][2] Ceberano's first solo release, the album peaked at number 29 in Australia.

[3] Whilst still performing with the band I'm Talking in early 1986, Ceberano was asked by events promoter Clifford Hocking to step in and replace a cancelled jazz performer at the Perth International Jazz Festival with a week's notice.

Ceberano quickly established a septet and the performance was an unexpected success.

Immediately after, Hocking asked Ceberano to perform again at the ANZ Pavilion State Theatre in Melbourne between 13–14 June 1986.

[4] However, the performance was a success and the live recording was released as her debut album in 1987.
