text: # Two of a Kind (Katie and Maggie Noonan album)
  
  Two of a Kind is the debut studio album by Australian jazz singer Katie Noonan, alongside her mother Maggie Noonan as well as The Red Fish Blue jazz trio and The Queensland Orchestra conducted by Guy Noble. The album was released in April 2004 and peaked at number 61 on the ARIA Charts and number 2 on the ARIA Classical chart on 10 May 2004.
  
  Katie explained:
  
     After being asked to do the 10th annual Brisbane concert series ‘Woman in Voice’ with my mother, Martin Buzacott from The Queensland Symphony Orchestra suggested we make an album with the orchestra under the baton of conductor Guy Noble. We were joined by some of the finest jazz musicians, the wonderful orchestra and a great jazz horn section led by the beautiful trumpeter John Hoffman, and making this album was a pure joy. With the wonderful guidance of Lyle Chan and the recording prowess of Virginia Read we made this album live. Post release Mum and I had the great honour of touring Australia playing with our finest orchestras.
  
  ## Reviews
  
  Heather Bloom of Australian Stage said "These two voices, both so incredible in their own right are stunning when joined in a duet. Both in perfect harmony as only a mother and daughter can, Katie’s clear voice and extensive range is astounding, while Maggie brings the operatic edge."
