Jutta Hipp With Zoot Sims

LP (Item 21447) Blue Note, 1956 — Condition: Sealed
A wonderful pairing of this German pianist and American tenor star Zoot Sims – and an album that may well be the greatest that Jutta Hipp ever cut! Hipp was one of the rising stars of the German postwar jazz scene in the 50s – and although she issued other American albums in the decade for Blue Note and Decca, this side's probably the best-remembered of the bunch – thanks to the presence of Zoot, and support from a great rhythm section that includes Ahmed Abdul-Malik on bass and Ed Thigpen on drums – both of whom match the modern tones of Jutta's piano, but also give a solidly soulful Blue Note feel to the set. The group's completed by trumpeter Jerry Lloyd, who helps bring a nice sparkle to the frontline – and titles include "Just Blues", "Wee Dot", "Almost Like Being In Love", and "Down Home".  © 1996-2025, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Sealed

This is what it says, that the record is still held fast in shrink-wrap. We tend to be pretty suspicious about these things, so if the shrink-wrap doesn't look original, or if the record seems to have undergone some damage over time, we'll probably take it out of the wrapper to ensure that it's in good shape — which is why we don't have more of these. In some cases the shrink-wrap may be torn in spots, but if it's not possible the record has been taken out and played, the record will still qualify as "Sealed".

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

One of the best hard-wailing all-star sessions that Jimmy did so well for Blue Note!

Jackie McLean

Demon's Dance
Blue Note, 1967. Very Good+
A pivotal session from the late 60s – one that has Jackie McLean pulling things back a bit from his "new thing" period, and turning towards the spiritual soulful groove that would characterize his early 70s work! The album bristles with excitement – still very much informed ... LP, Vinyl record album

Three Sounds

Black Orchid
Blue Note, 1962. Very Good+
Maybe the most evocative title of all the Three Sounds albums of the 60s – and one that really gets at the dark beauty of the entire record!

Maiden Voyage
Blue Note, 1965. Near Mint-

Sidewinder
Blue Note, 1964. Near Mint-
A jazz classic if there ever was one – and the best-selling album ever by Lee Morgan, thanks to the use of the title track in a car commercial!

Herbie Hancock

Empyrean Isles
Blue Note, 1964. Near Mint-
A lyrical masterpiece from the young Herbie Hancock – and a record that's really special for so many different reasons!

Freddie Hubbard

Night Of The Cookers Vol 1
Blue Note, 1965. Near Mint-
A landmark set for Blue Note – one that features Freddie Hubbard working in raw, firey, freewheeling territory – given space that few other players at the label were getting at the time!

Horace Silver

Further Explorations
Blue Note, 1958. Very Good+
One of the most fantastic Horace Silver albums from the 50s – a set of complicated tunes that really lives up to its "further explorations" title!

Roland Kirk

We Free Kings
Mercury, 1961. Very Good
A hell of a record from the young Roland Kirk – one of his first for Mercury Records, and the start of a great run of genius in the 60s!

Date With Johnny Pate
King, 1959. Very Good
A wonderful live set from the great bassist Johnny Pate – working here in the early years of his career, before his soul arrangements with The Impressions, or his famous funk albums of the 70s!
