It is an interesting interview that talks about Jutta Hitt's youth, family, and life during WWII in Leipzig and how she escaped to Munich where she worked in a US Military club.

Some nice details about how she gets into jazz in the US, and the text surprisingly lacks any in-depth info about why Jutta became fed-up with the whole thing.Ehsan Khoshbakhthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03005110975164267813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-462627331876782474.post-40502931248504851262012-09-07T21:46:29.807+01:002012-09-07T21:46:29.807+01:00Dear Ehsan
A very very interesting radio feature ...Dear Ehsan<br /><br />A very very interesting radio feature that is!<br /><br />The story how her fame ended according to this feature:<br /><br />Essentially Hipp never liked the spotlight and hated playing in a big NYC jazz club such as the Hickory House. She had the feeling people either came there to drink and talk loud or to stare at her as if she was some kind of strange animal.<br /><br />When her six months stay at the Hickory House was over she for fewer and fewer jobs. Apparently Leonard Feather who had built Hipps' name up in NYC let her fall at some time, writing that Hipp had changed her style and had become uninteresting. Hipp had to take the job as a seamstress because she was not able to pay the rent anymore. She has not touched the piano for thirty years now (the broadcast seems to have been made in the mid eighties). As she says, she always considered herself an amateur on the piano anywayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
