  Jutta Hipp - At the Hickory House Vol. 1 LP Blue Note Records (US)   Description:  Jutta Hipp (February 4, 1925 in Leipzig, Germany – April 7, 2003 in Queens) was a jazz pianist who also had some success as a painter. She mostly worked in bebop and cool jazz.

She first studied painting in Germany, but later played jazz during the war and she indicated jazz was important to her during that period. After the war she moved West due to the Soviet Union and in West Germany she worked with Hans Koller for a time. In Germany she also led a quintet, Albert Mangelsdorff's brother Emil was one of the noteworthy members.

In 1954 she played with Attila Zoller. Critic Leonard Feather was impressed with her work when he heard in Germany and soon after she moved to New York City where she would spend most of her life. She initially drew some criticism from critics who felt she was too similar to her sponsor Horace Silver. In 1956 she played at the Newport Jazz Festival and did a studio album with Zoot Sims, which is considered possibly her best. The album is also considered rare, but a remastered edition from the Japanese division of Blue Note Records came out in 2003.

She also worked for New York based trios. She had been determined to be seen as an equal to male players, but at the same time she felt intense nervousness playing with other musicians she admired. The anxiety the profession caused her led to her abandoning jazz in 1958 and from then on she made her living primarily as a seamstress. She also returned to her first interest of painting and her portraits of various jazz musicians became popular with musicians.

Although she maintained some contact with musicians she cut herself off from the music industry to the point that by 2000 Blue Note did not know where to send her royalties checks. Lee Konitz was one of a few musicians who kept in touch with her until her death in Queens. She never married and had no children.

After her death she became of some interest as a woman instrumentalist in the New York jazz scene.

Grading:   LPs are graded visually and conservatively under many bright lights. Questionable marks are play graded.   Still Sealed/New: Never opened...still in original shrinkwrap....any tears in the shrinkwrap will be noted in description.   Mint: New condition...Exactly like new, no flaws whatsoever. Nice & Shiny.  Cover will look like it has just been removed from shrinkwrap, or may still have most of the shrinkwrap still on it.   NrMint: Played once, no flaws, but a remote ever-so-slight amount of that shiny luster may be gone.  Jacket will be virtually flawless, slightest signs of wear, maybe one bumped corner, or a hint of edgewear.  Shrinkwrap, if still on, may have some stickers on it.   VG++: Very Good Plus Plus. This record may have some marks(very, very light scratch or a bit of very light sleeve scuffing)that may sound briefly in a quieter passage.   The jacket may have the very lightest signs of ringwear(just barely noticeable), some light corner or edge wear, maybe an old price sticker or two, that should peel off with the proper guidance.   VG+: Very Good Plus. This record will have some light marks(light scratches and light sleeve scuffs), and it might make an occasional pop or crackle in parts, but will not even come close to overwhelming the listening experience.  Still a very desirable grade.. As for the jacket, it will start to show more signs of wear than a VG++ jacket, the ringwear may be slightly more evident, the edgewear or corner wear may be more defined as well.   VG: Very Good. The record may have several scratches and scuffs, though aside from some popping and crackling, will still be an enjoyable listen. No skips here. The jacket will have far more wear than the previous grades, such as:  edgewear to the point of some minor seam splitting(the kind that can be repaired with tape or other means), ringwear(not terrible, but still distracting from the image), edge and corner wear, minor writing or a few stickers, or other similiar defects.   VG- : Not terrible, usually represents 1 or 2 "ugly" marks or scratches, might be a little sketchy in a few spots, other than that would fair as a VG record.  The jacket will show wear - ringwear, seam splits(still should be able to be taped up for repair), some writing and/or stickers, edge and corner wear, or other similiar defects.   Good/Fair/Poor: These conditions will be used sparingly, and will only be sold if the LP itself is insignificant(for example some LP jackets are collectible, and the LP itself has no value). Also these grades will be used for extremely rare vinyl at very affordable blowout prices. Filler only, not recommended for listening.   Please feel free to email with any questions!   Shipping and Handling   All LPs are boxed carefully in corrugated boxes made specifically for LPs, plus the LPs are housed in clear plastic LP sleeves, with either extra newspaper or cardoard as buffering tools.
