Jutta Hipp with Zoot Sims

Jutta Hipp with Zoot Sims is an album by German jazz pianist Jutta Hipp recorded on July 28, 1956 and released on Blue Note the following year.

Background

In the liner notes, jazz critic Leonard Feather comments that the album has a relaxed feel, similar to what the listener might experience at a live performance, "... if you happened to drop in one night at Basin Street or the bohemia and found Jutta Hipp sitting in with Zoot's combo."

Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow and Thom Jurek states, "as a whole, this recording is so wonderfully executed, one has to wonder why Hipp simply dropped out of the jazz world."
