At any rate, as can be seen in a short video clip, all the seats were occupied. In addition, a really good trumpeter was there, whose name would later resound throughout Europe: Ted Curson. What is more, the legendary Bud Powell, who lived in France, was invited as a special guest for one number that required a pianist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Jazz Workshop - which was how Mingus called his working ensemble - presented repertoire that was familiar to all the musicians: \"Better Git It In Your Soul\", \"Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting\" and Dolphy's wonderful solo on the bass clarinet in \"What Love?\". Besides this there was \"Cry For Freedom\" as \"Prayer For Passive Resistance\" was also named, and \"Folk Forms\", also known as \"Ummh\". As a mark of respect towards the guest musician, it was decided to perform the evergreen \"I'll Remember April\", with Powell's improvisation being applauded enthusiastically by the audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharles Mingus was to play in numerous concerts in the '60s and '70s; he recorded more than two-dozen official LPs, accused several concert organizers and tour managers of extortionate robbery, and trampled on illegal recording tapes. But the present live recording was made by the ORTF and released officially later by Atlantic Records. It is now re-released after many years and is a rare document in the annals of music history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecording: July 1960 live at the Antibes Jazz Festival, Juan-les-Pins, France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Speakers Corner LP was remastered using pure analogue components only, from the master tapes through to the cutting head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote cite=\"https:\/\/elusivedisc.com\/charles-mingus-mingus-at-antibes-180g-2lp\/quote%20source\"\u003eIf you don't have this record, you need it!\u003cfooter\u003e-Duck Baker, The Absolute Sound, May\/June 2020, Music 5\/5, Sonics 4\/5\u003c\/footer\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"features\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e180g Virgin Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh Quality Pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePure Analogue Audiophile Mastering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble LP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressed at Pallas in Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGatefold jacket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"musicians\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMusicians\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCharles Mingus\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ebass, piano\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEric Dolphy\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ealto saxophone, clarinet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBooker Ervin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003etenor saxophone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTed Curson\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003etrumpet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBud Powell\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003epiano\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDannie Richmond\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003edrums\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"selections\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSelections:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide One:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWednesday Night Prayer Meeting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrayer For Passive Resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide Two:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat Love?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide Three:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'll Remember April\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide Four:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolk Forms I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBetter Git Hit In Your Soul\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Speakers Corner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56683037327692,"sku":"4260019715838","price":16.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/2913\/4412\/files\/original_0938bda5-77ea-4502-896e-8ce1bba78325.jpg?v=1770597845","url":"https:\/\/vinylpulses.com\/products\/charles-mingus-mingus-at-antibes-speakers-corner-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
