The songs on the album are set to love lyrics by the late poet , Dorothy Porter . Grabowsky said ; " Dot ’s words are magnificent : she always had the power to compress complex ideas into a few well chosen – and musical – lines , or even just single explosive words . The music runs the gamut from jazz and latin-informed structures to something more approaching art-song . Katie Noonan , who possesses rare and exquisite vocal talents , sings them beautifully , and the band , in which I am joined by Scott Tinkler , trumpet , Philip Rex , bass and Simon Barker on drums , play up a storm . " At the ARIA Music Awards of 2005 , it won ' Best Jazz Album ' . The two toured the album nationally
