About Jutta Hipp
- Jutta Hipp (February 4, 1925 – April 7, 2003) was a jazz pianist and composer.
- Born in Leipzig in the Weimar Republic, she initially listened to jazz in secret, as it was not approved of by the Nazi authorities.
- After surviving World War II, she became a refugee, often lacking food and other necessities.
- By the early 1950s, she was a touring pianist and soon led her own bands.
- Critic Leonard Feather heard Hipp perform in Germany in 1954, recorded her, and organized her move to the United States the following year.
- Club and festival appearances soon followed, as did album releases. For reasons that are unclear, Hipp's last recording was in 1956; she started working in a clothing factory, and ultimately cut herself off from the music world.
- She remained in the United States, and worked for the clothing company for 35 years.
