Blue Note 1515 - 180g LP from the Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series 

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 uptempo 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.
