Kate Ceberano and Her Septet is the debut album recorded by Australian artist Kate Ceberano and released in March 1987.[1][2] It peaked at number 17 in Australia.

Background

Whilst still performing with the band I'm Talking in early 1986, Ceberano was asked by events promotor 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. According to her 2014 autobiography, Ceberano said the idea "frightened the life out [of her]" as she thought no one would come.[3] However, the performance was a success and the live recording was released as her debut album in 1987.[4]

There was a TV special released, and although not officially released, various clips are available to view on YouTube.
