GERMAN JAZZ PIANIST JUTTA HIPP REMAINS ONE OF THE MOST INTRIGUING YET LITTLE-KNOWN FIGURES IN BLUE NOTE HISTORY. A UNIQUE AND SHORT-LIVED PRESENCE ON THE NYC JAZZ SCENE IN THE MID-1950S, HIPP MOVED TO THE U.S. WITH THE AID OF CRITIC LEONARD FEATHER AND RECORDED A SERIES OF BLUE NOTE RELEASES THAT CULMINATED WITH JUTTA HIPP WITH ZOOT SIMS, A SUBLIME DATE WITH THE FEELING OF HIGH-LEVEL BLOWING SESSION FEATURING TENOR SAXOPHONIST ZOOT SIMS, TRUMPETER JERRY LLOYD, BASSIST AHMED ABDUL-MALIK, AND DRUMMER ED THIGPEN. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SET INCLUDING THE UP-TEMPO OPENER “JUST BLUES” AND THE GORGEOUS BALLAD “VIOLETS FOR YOUR FURS,” AND THE ALBUM—WHICH FEATURES A SEMINAL GRAPHIC COVER DESIGN BY REID MILES—TURNED OUT TO BE HER FINAL RECORDING AS HIPP LEFT THE MUSIC SCENE SHORTLY THEREAFTER. THIS BLUE NOTE 80 VINYL EDITION IS ALL-ANALOG, MASTERED BY KEVIN GRAY FROM THE ORIGINAL MASTER TAPES, AND PRESSED ON 180G VINYL AT OPTIMAL.
