Product Details

Recorded just months after the legendary Town Hall concert attempt, this 1960 Juan-les-Pins performance captures Mingus's working band at a peak moment of collective intensity, with Eric Dolphy and Booker Ervin pushing each other to extremes that studio settings rarely allowed. The surprise appearance of Bud Powell on "I'll Remember April" remains one of those genuinely unrepeatable jazz encounters, two giants sharing a stage by circumstance rather than design.

Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. Mingus at Antibes was originally issued by BYG Records under the title Charles Mingus Live With Eric Dolphy in Japan in 1974. It was recorded at a live 1960 performance at the Jazz à Juan festival at Juan-les-Pins by jazz bassist and composer Charles Mingus; and was re-released by Atlantic Records in more complete form as a double album with the title Mingus In Antibes in the United States in 1976. The album captures a performance at Jazz à Juan, and features some of Mingus's then regular musicians in a generally piano-less quintet, though the band is joined by Bud Powell on "I'll Remember April", and Mingus himself plays some piano on "Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting" and "Better Git Hit in Your Soul".
