Hipp, Jutta – At The Hickory House, Volume 1

Description

New Vinyl Record – At The Hickory House, Volume 1 (Blue Note Classics Series)

German jazz pianistJutta Hippis one of the most intriguing yet little-known figures in Blue Note history, a unique and short-lived presence on the NYC Jazz scene of the mid-1950s. Following Blue Notes 1954 release of the 10 LPNew Faces New SoundsFrom Germany recorded in Frankfurt, Hipp moved to the U.S. with the aid of critic Leonard Feather and in 1956 recorded two more Blue Note dates: the charming two volume live albumsAt The Hickory Houseand the sublime studio sessionJutta Hipp with Zoot Sims. The Hickory House recordings, captured on a single April evening and the NYC club, found Hipp in a trio accompanied by bassistPeter Indand drummerEdThigpen. Volume 1 presents a well-selected set of jazz standards (including Ill Remember April and Dear Old Stockholm) and bebop themes (Charlie Parkers Billies Bounce and Tadd Damerons Lady Bird) that serve as a showcase of the her hip, lightly-swinging style.
