Before Time Could Change Us is the collaborative studio album by Australian jazz writer/singer and composer Paul Grabowsky and singer-songwriter Katie Noonan. The album was released in August 2005.[1] and peaked at number 65 on the ARIA Charts for the week commencing 22 August 2005.[2]
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."[3]
At the ARIA Music Awards of 2005, it won the ARIA Award for Best Jazz Album.[4]
The two toured the album nationally.
