Background and release

In 1999 Kate Ceberano and Paul Grabowsky performed a one-off show at The Continental in Melbourne for Valentine's Day. That performance would grow a close and enduring friendship. The album is a set of songs revisiting the theme of the impact of love and loss we all endure.

Reception

Jeff Jenkins from Stack Magazine said "Tryst is the perfect title for this romantic rendezvous, a collection of late-night love songs... this is a magical combination, Ceberano's peerless voice and Grabowsky's exquisite piano playing".
