About

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