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. [1]
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." [2]
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." [3]

Jutta Hipp was a jazz pianist and composer. Born in Leipzig during the Weimar Republic, Hipp initially listened to jazz in secret, as it was not approved of by the Nazi authorities. After 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.
