Jazz impressario Leonard Feather brought her to the USA where she did sessions with Horace Silver, Zoot Sims and Mingus. This box provides a complete overview of her work, including Jutta's most relevant recordings and featuring a collection of paintings, drawings and cartoons as well as letters and poems.
