Ilona Haberkamp Trio: Plötzlich Hip(p). Das Leben der Jutta Hipp zwischen Jazz und Kunst

In the organizer's words:

For decades, the pianist Jutta Hipp was forgotten on the international jazz scene. Born and raised in Leipzig in 1925, she became a shooting star in post-war western Germany and was an exceptional phenomenon in the male-dominated world of jazz.

As "Europe's First Lady of Jazz", she made the leap across the pond. She conquered the New York jazz scene and played with the jazz greats of her time. Her big breakthrough came with her recordings for the renowned Blue Note Records as the first white and German jazz pianist among exclusively African-American colleagues such as Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Horace Silver and many others. But at the height of her success, she abruptly ended her career and swapped the piano for a sewing machine. However, she never returned to Germany.

The saxophonist Ilona Haberkamp had a special relationship with Jutta Hipp. On this evening, she will read from her biography Plötzlich Hip(p)(Wolke Verlag) and present the compositions of the exceptional jazz pianist with her jazz trio.

With: Ilona Haberkamp (saxophone), Bernd Johannes Wolf (double bass) and Jona Kümper (piano).
