Bittersweet is an album of jazz standards by American musician Mark Isham and Australian vocalist Kate Ceberano. It is Ceberano's first jazz album in twenty years.[1] The album received a nomination for Best Jazz Album at the 2009 ARIA Awards.[2]
Isham and Ceberano performed at the Sundance Film Festival in 2003 and wanted to record an album together. In early 2009, Ceberano flew to Isham's estate outside Los Angeles and recorded the album in his home studio. The pair recorded the album live without overdubs in just three days.[3]
