Jutta Hipp (4 February 1925 – 7 April 2003) Født i Leipzig og begyndte at spille klaver som 9-årig. Student hos Leipzig Academy of Graphic Arts, men flygtede til den vestlige zone i Tyskland foran Russerne. Fik arbejde hos saxofonist Hans Koller fra 1951 og var på turnee i Europa. Blev hørt af Leonard Feather som arrangerede en pladeindspilning som senere kom på Blue Note. Feather arrangerede også visa til Hipp, og fandt et job til hende hos Hickory House club i New York. Hipp emigrerede til US i 1955. Efter pladen sammen med Zoot Sims, holdt hun totalt op med at spil musik. Hipp's spillestil var meget inspireret af Lennie Tristano, men også af Horace Silver. Hun var en meget sky person, som også havde alvorlig sceneskræk og brugte alkohol og tobak til at dulme føleserne. Var også tit deprimeret. Fik arbejde i en beklædningsfabrik og gik tilbage til hendes maleri og grafiske arbejde. Døde mere eller mindre ukendt. Blue Note var nødt til at gemme hendes royalty penge indtil 2000, fordi de ikke vidste hvor hun boede.

Copyright by Michael James Schmidt 2014 The Dissertation Committee for Michael James Schmidt certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: The Multi-Sensory Object: Jazz, the Modern Media, and the History of the Senses in Germany Committee: David F. Crew, Supervisor Judith Coffin Sabine Hake Tracie Matysik Karl H. Miller The Multi-Sensory Object: Jazz, the Modern Media, and the History of the Senses in Germany by Michael James Schmidt, B.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin August 2014 To my family: Mom, Dad, Paul, and Lindsey Acknowledgements I would like to thank, above all, my advisor David Crew for his intellectual guidance, his encouragement, and his personal support throughout the long, rewarding process that culminated in this dissertation. It has been an immense privilege to study under David and his thoughtful, open, and rigorous approach has fundamentally shaped the way I think about history. I would also like to Judith Coffin, who has been patiently mentored me since I was a hapless undergraduate. Judy’s ideas and suggestions have constantly opened up new ways of thinking for me and her elegance as a writer will be something to which I will always aspire. I would like to express my appreciation to Karl Hagstrom Miller, who has poignantly altered the way I listen to and encounter music since the first time he shared the recordings of Ellington’s Blanton-Webster band with me when I was 20 years old.

Obwohl es wahrscheinlich auch ohne Kennzeichnung gelungen wäre, diese Nummer als stilistisches Zitat zu enttarnen. Das sportliche Tempo, das virtuose Thema, die druckvolle Energie, die Besetzung: alles typische Elemente des Bebop aus den 1940er und 1950er Jahren. Nun war das keine historische Originalaufnahme, sondern ein Zitat. Und „Underkarl“ machen das deutlich, indem sie ihren Bebop zu einem Konzentrat eindampfen, das quasi nur noch aus Klischees besteht. Eher eine musikalische Parodie also und sicher nicht so ernst gemeint wie dieses Stück. Etwa zur selben Zeit entstanden.

The technological advancements of the LP, along with the incipient use of magnetic tape recording, made it feasible to commercially issue recordings running beyond the three-minute restrictions of the 78-rpm record. LPs began to feature extended improvisations, musical mistakes, musicians’ voices, and other moments of informal music making, revolutionizing the standard recording and production methods of the previous recording era. As the visual and sonic modes of representation shifted, so too did jazz’s relationship to white mainstream culture, Western European musical aesthetics, US political structures, and streams of Afro-modernism.

Blue Note Label Discography Was Compiled Using Our Record Collections, Schwann Catalogs from 1949 to 1982, a Phono-Log from 1963
Discography Of The Blue Note Label Blue Note was started in New York City in 1938 by Alfred W. Lion. Blue Note recorded jazz only. The following history of the Blue Note record label is from the Blue Note Website (bluenote.com). “In 1925, 16-year old Alfred Lion noticed a concert poster for Sam Wooding's orchestra near his favorite ice-skating arena in his native Berlin, Germany. He'd heard many of his mother's jazz records and began to take an interest in the music, but that night his life was changed. The impact of what he heard live touched a deep passion within him. His thirst for the music temporarily brought him to New York in 1928 where he worked on the docks and slept in Central Park to get closer to the music. On December 23, 1938, Lion attended the celebrated Spirituals to Swing concert at Carnegie Hall. The power, soul and beauty with which boogie woogie piano masters Albert Ammons and Meade Lux Lewis rocked the stage gripped him. Exactly two weeks later, on January 6 at 2 in the afternoon, he brought them into a New York studio to make some recordings. They took turns at the one piano, recording four solos each before relinquishing the bench to the other man. The long session ended with two stunning duets. Blue Note Records was finally a reality. The label's first brochure in May of 1939 carried a statement of purpose that Lion rarely strayed from throughout the many styles and years during which he built one of the greatest jazz record companies in the world.
