Chika Cha Cha Duet
Masaki Baba & Cate Shaw
"The story of Chika is captured so beautifully as this song tells one of the saddest stories of eventual redemption. Cate and Masaki's vocals tip-toe gracefully across a carefully mastered arrangement of strings, cute, fun and very unique.

X & Y Bar
Cate will be accompanied by John Reeves on Piano, Andrew Shaw on Double Bass and Dave Cotgreave on drums/percussion.
Brisbane Jazz Club
Launching the new year on 1st January 2010, Cate was accompanied by Gerianne Rudd (USA) and Jazz Australis. Cate performs regularly at the Club's Jam nights
Listening to Cate performing to an appreciative audience at a venue such as the Brisbane Jazz Club is a pleasing and memorable occasion. Her diction is clear, her pitching flawless. She has all the attributes necessary for a quality singer while her choice of songs is always fascinating. Fittingly her latest album was actually recorded at the Brisbane Jazz Club with its memorable view of the Brisbane River. It was, as Cate sings So Nice.

"This song shimmers like dew in the brisk of morning air. The story of Chika is captured so beautifully as this song tells one of the saddest stories of eventual redemption. Cate Shaw's vocals tip-toe gracefully across a carefully mastered arrangement of strings with such ease and perfect vocal clarity. Her work can be likened to gentle, effervescent styles of Astrud Gilberto, or even Icelandic artists such as Bjork and Mum. Cute, fun, and very unique." Ron Ingalla, Bryan Farrish Radio Promotion
"the music has a lovely balance of sadness and hope and you capture that" Ingrid James, Jazz Vocalist
"... a young sound but delivered with the chops of a mature vocalist. What an exciting thing to be doing!" Geoff Norris, Music reviewer
