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 America in 1976.
Contents
The album captures a performance at Jazz à Juan, and features some of Mingus's 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".
