Being Hipp — First Lady of European Jazz

Jutta Hipp was the first female musician from Europe to release on the legendary Blue Note label - a German jazz pianist who played herself from Germany to New York in the 1950s. The film tells of her rise, her break with the scene and her retreat into private life. The documentary is more than just a musical biography: it is a portrait of self-assertion, artistic integrity and the price of female independence — in the music business as in life.
