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.
