Jutta Hipp - Jutta Hipp at the Hickory House, Vol. 1 & 2

AllMusic Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
At the Hickory House is a thoroughly appealing collection of lightly swinging small-combo jazz that draws equally from hard bop and soul-jazz. There's a soulful lilt to Jutta Hipp's playing that keeps it engaging and enjoyable. The rhythm section of Peter Ind (bass) and Ed Thigpen (drums) largely stay out of the way, letting Hipp dictate the tempo and mood of the pieces, and she has a knack for creating infectious, swinging interpretations of jazz and pop standards that are enjoyable and easy to listen to. Vol. 1 contains such staples as "Dear Old Stockholm," "Billie's Bounce," "Mad About the Boy," "Ain't Misbehavin'" and "These Foolish Things," all of which are performed with verve and style, making the record a wonderful little gem.

Jutta Hipp at the Hickory House, Vol. 2 has the same infectious spirit and sense of fun as the first volume. Taken from the same date, this ten-track album features such standards as "Moonlight in Vermont," "After Hours," "If I Had You" and "My Heart Stood Still," all of which are given swinging, spirited interpretations by Hipp and her rhythm section of bassist Peter Ind and drummer Ed Thigpen. As with the first volume of At the Hickory House, Vol. 2 is another thoroughly enjoyable set of swinging soul-jazz and should appeal to fans of Horace Silver and the Three Sounds.

[Starchild]

Good morning Asimov.  I'm listening to a different Ahmad Jamal album called "All of You" right now.  How about that?!?  Anyhow, I couldn't find any samples so I've decided to poist the box set the album came from.  A highly recommended box set for Ahmad Jamal fans.

Good Morning Starchild.
It is 6.45PM here.
I googled for "All of Me" but got nothing.
I am a great fan of Ahmed Jamal, I have the box set in digital format.
Thanks

A very nice album by the Bill Mays Trio.  A great sounding recording too.



Bill Mays Trio - An Ellington Affair

Bill Mays Trio: Bill Mays (piano); John Goldsby (bass); Lewis Nash (drums).

Down Beat (4/95, p.51) - 4 Stars - Very Good - "...This recording avoids the most overworked Ellington compositions and gives a fresh quality to the well-known ones it does include....the interpretations are neither completely nostalgic nor totally modern but a savvy mixture of the two..."
