60th Anniversary of Mingus At Antibes

Recorded on this day in 1960... Mingus At Antibes

The album captures a performance at the Jazz à Juan festival at Juan-les-Pins, 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".
