Peter Lipa (born May 30, 1943) is a Slovak singer, composer, and promoter of jazz. He has been called the Father of Slovak Jazz.{{cite web |url=http://www.24hod.sk/peter-lipa-dobija-nemecke-radia-cl10890.html|title=Peter Lipa dobíja nemecké rádiá|date=March 10, 2006|work=Denník 24hodin|at=24hod.sk|publisher=WEBkomplex s.r.o |access-date=2013-05-16|language=Slovak}}{{cite web|url=http://kultura.sme.sk/c/3319923/otec-slovenskeho-dzezu-peter-lipa.html|title=Otec slovenského džezu – Peter Lipa |date=May 29, 2007 |work=SME |at=sme.sk|publisher=Petit Press|access-date=2013-05-16|language=Slovak}} Lipa is regarded as the most significant figure in the Slovak jazz scene. He developed a unique vocal style that focused on the lyrics. His music is influenced by performers including Jimmy Rushing, Ray Charles, Al Jarreau, Joe Cocker, and Bobby McFerrin, and is a mix of jazz and blues. He was the first jazz singer to use Slovak.{{Cite web|title=Peter Lipa|url=http://www.peterlipa.com/en/biography/|access-date=2021-06-03|website=Peter Lipa|language=en}}

Life and career

Lipa was born in Prešov to Hungarian-Jewish parents and has worked in Czechoslovakia, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia. His roots are in blues, soul, and classical music and his work rock and jazz standards.

In 2003, he released an album called Beatles in Blue(s) with versions of sixteen songs by The Beatles. He and his arrangers and musicians intended to create the most unusual renditions they could imagine.{{cite web|title =Beatles in Blue(s): Review |first=François|last=Couture |publisher=Allmusic | url ={{Allmusic|class=album|id=r637959|pure_url=yes}} |access-date =2010-08-15}} Some songs, such as "Every Little Thing" and "I Wanna Be Your Man", are recorded so differently from the original versions that only the lyrics remain. In each case, the tempo, rhythm, chord changes, and melody are new.

Three of his studio albums have been listed among The 100 Greatest Slovak Albums of All Time, such as Lipa spieva Lasicu (2005), at number fifty-eight, ...v najlepších rokoch (2001), at number sixty-three, and Naspäť na stromy (1995), at number eighty-one.For the complete list of The 100 Greatest Slovak Albums of All Time, use either the topky.sk-link and/or the cas.sk-link:
