Kate Schutt *Cd Release* October 30, 2008

Raised in Chadds Ford, PA, Kate Schutt was schooled in Boston, both at Harvards English department, where she studied the influence of jazz on modern poetry, and at Berklee College of Music, where she studied jazz guitar. Now living in Guelph, Ontario, Canada, Kate is carving out a niche as a writer, arranger, and performer of new jazz standards on both sides of the border. Her persuasive melodies and arrangements show a deep involvement with the history of jazz and a willingness to flirt with pop gestures and attitudes. For her newest album, TELEPHONE GAME, Kate assembled a dream band of the tastiest players around, including Terri Lyne Carrington on drums, Orrin Evans on piano, Duane Andrews on acoustic guitar, and Marc Rogers on bass. Everything clicked flint-to-flame.
