Charles Mingus - Mingus At Antibes LP 1986 RM Eric Dolphy Bud Powell
Bud Powell really shines with this group behind him and Dolphy & Mingus are cut from the same cloth. The more I listen to Mingus I hear Duke
Recorded live by Barclay Studios for Atlantic Records at the
Antibes Jazz Festival, Juan-les-Pins, France, July 13, 1960. Mastered at Atlantic Studios, New York
Mingus at Antibes 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 released by Atlantic Records.
The album captures a performance at Jazz à Juan, and features some of Mingus's then-regular musicians in a generally pianoless 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".
During 1960, bassist Charles Mingus led one of his finest bands, a pianoless quartet with Eric Dolphy (on alto, flute, and bass clarinet), trumpeter Ted Curson, and drummer Dannie Richmond. For this live concert, the band is augmented by the great tenor Booker Ervin for some stirring music. All of the music is memorable: "Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting," "Prayer for Passive Resistance," "What Love," "Folk Forms No. 1," and "Better Get Hit in Yo' Soul." The immortal pianist Bud Powell sits in on a fine version of "I'll Remember April" and Dolphy and Ervin in particular generate a great deal of heat during some of their solos.price rating
