The Latest Review -- All About Jazz calls NO LOVE LOST "meticulously composed and beautifully performed"
"The debut studio recording of American singer-songwriter/guitarist Kate Schutt combines old school gypsy jazz aesthetics and Schutt's wise, original words, persuasive melodies and economic arrangements. Schutt, who relocated to Guelph, Ontario and produced this fine recording, offers ten well-articulated and melodic song-stories, which cover different but never simple aspects of love. One bold cover that stands out is Sheila E's “Glamorous Life.”

Schutt's main collaborators are Newfoundlanders, guitarist Duane Andrews bringing with him a Django gypsy jazz feel accompanied and often complimented by trumpeter Patrick Boyle. Schutt's sweet, warm voice and clear phrasing command attention for the universal resonance of her lyrics, often sounding like old-school standards written for the Broadway stage, like the opening track “How Much in Love.”

Kate Schutt's masterful No Love Lost is meticulously composed and beautifully performed."
