Studio Mono Master, Official Digital Download | Artwork: Front cover Incredible postwar bop recordings by one of the hippest groups in Germany! During the 50s, pianist Jutta Hipp cut a number of straighter sides for Blue Note that were recorded in the US - but this album features earlier German recordings, some later issued by Blue Note - all done with a killer quintet that features a young Joki Freund on tenor sax and Emil Mangelsdorff on alto. Jutta's core trio features Hans Kresse on bass and Karl Sanner on drums – but the real charm of the records is the horn players – working with amazing interplay that really makes the record shine – working in unison on many of the intros to the songs, cutting back and forth like a double-edged sword, then breaking out into wonderfully compact solos that easily rival the best of the west coast at the time!
