[1]Mingus at Antibes was originally a double album (now a single CD) recorded at a live 1960 performance at Juan-les-Pins by jazz bassist and composer Charles Mingus; it was released in 1976.
The album captures a performance at the Antibes Jazz Festival, and features some of Mingus' 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".
