Important to realize that this is Mingus' gig, his arrangement and choice of musicians. His direction and guidance to the players in preparation for this gig are a huge reason it's as great as it is. He was in the pantheon of Great American Composers. Yes, a great bassist, but the bass was just a vehicle and one component of the kaleidoscope of his vast contribution to the entire world of music.

Bud, Dannie, and Mingus ain't a bad rhythm section. And the front line is doing ok too. :-)
@herbkasler5231 Жыл бұрын
It really is great, but I think it's also just a foreshadowing of the work that Mingus would go on to do with equally talented musicians in later years.

Love how they trade fours for a while, then go into trading twos, then start trading ones, and I could swear they even try exchanging halfs but end up just overlapping each other until finally Ted comes in for a free-for-all!

@AriaCannavo6 жыл бұрын
In response to a prior comment by someone who (mistakenly) judged that Dolphy “doesn’t know the changes”. Dolphy knew his harmony (and the changes here) inside out, and this is what allowed him to navigate tonal centers and tonality in the fluid and groundbreaking manner he did. For those whose ears can’t reveal this, Transcribe the solo and analyze it. Now ready for a surprise: I don’t particularly like Dolphy! But always, always, always remember that one must distinguish one’s subjective preferences and tastes from objective judgements. I’m a Jazz musician and a lifelong student of bebop. Dolphy was never my cup of tea, but his brilliance as an improviser cannot be denied. Dolphy took birds approach to phrasing - (the influence of Parker is unmistakable to any student of Bebop worth their salt!) and mapped it over a truly distinct way of moving in and out of the chord changes. And he did it brilliantly, and in a way that was truly groundbreaking for that era. What is really cool is to listen to very early Dolphy, where the influence of bird is even more apparent.

I truly appreciate this thoughtful and well-informed comment. My hearing and musical training are insufficient to observe this myself. Articulate musicians are especially helpful to people like me. I play this to listen to Bud; but, I shall make it a point to listen to Eric Dolphy soon. I would like to have an introductory list of his best recordings to help me over the somewhat painful early stages of listening to someone playing over my head.

Tom Wayburn I quite agree but I want to add that he’s indeed my cup of tea and not only that I consider him the true successor of Charlie Parker , one the greatest and humble enough to play second fiddle to Mingus and Trane, in fact I think they owed him a great deal.

This video adds several interesting points to the the version released on the "Mingus At Antibes" CD: 1- Bud's last chorus, which includes a Mingus- Richmond interplay, right before Ted Curson' s solo, was edited in the CD. Here we have the complete performance! 2- The audience seems to be having a good time with this advanced music in 1960. Unfortunately, though, even today in 2018 many people still do dot understand these incredible musicians, as can be read in some of the comments below. 3- Eric Dolphy's sandals!!!

Jon Weiss You shit all over Mingus in the comments section of 'Triumph of the Underdog' saying he wasn't a great composer. You said he had written a "few good tunes...nothing revolutionary..." You watch this and all you can say it was "rare" to see Bud & Dolphy together. (A quick check of their respective discographies & session lists indicates it was the only time.) Since you evidently think Mingus was a sideman on the Powell-Dolphy Project I would suggest you run over to Amazon and buy the recording of this entire concert, often called 'Mingus at Antibes', and hear just how revolutionary Mr. Mingus was. All but the standard 'I'll Remember April' are original Mingus compositions though his 'What Love?' is a take on 'What Is This Thing Called Love?' His compositions are as revolutionary as it gets in 1960. Yes, Mingus had some personal demons, a "miserable bastard" as you call him. I guess you also think Charlie Parker was a mediocre horn player and kind of an asshole. - Best Regards
@orqsilva9 жыл бұрын
onepissed offcracker Hmm, I seemed to have ruffled a lot of feathers with my comments about Mingus' status as a composer. It reminds me of when I criticized Janis Joplin's version as "Little Girl Blue," a beautiful and delicate song which she totally destroys, both harmonically and as a song (cf. Nina Simone). Someone sent me a list of his better compositions, not frequently played, which I will be glad to check out to rethink the issue. This is what I would call constructive and feedback, which from the moniker you have chosen to represent yourself, I would not expect from you. I am old enough to have seen Mingus live quite a few times, and every time I saw him he was angry, abused his musicians (even the great one) , and usually insulted the audience. Having worked with some abusive bandleaders, I can tell you it is not a pleasant experience and certainly is not conducive to creating the best music. Considering that no one in the film, except his family, has a nice word to say about Mingus personally, as far as I'm concerned his status as a composer who was one of the most abusive assholes of the 20th Cent. can remain undisputed.

@huckfinn150110 жыл бұрын
I have not heard the DVD. Since I can't post a link here in google land, I will copy review by Ken Dryden at allmusic dot com. Eric Dolphy Stockholm 1964/Antibes 1960 Eric Dolphy is a sideman and Charles Mingus the leader in the two performances on this Impro-Jazz DVD, issued in 2007. The three tracks from 1964 are rehearsals by Mingus' sextet, all of which have since been issued in more complete form and better remastering on DVD by Naxos in their acclaimed Jazz Icons series. In any case, all of the music by this group, which also includes trumpeter Johnny Coles, tenor saxophonist Clifford Jordan, pianist Jaki Byard, and drummer Dannie Richmond, makes for compelling listening, even in rehearsal. The major reason to look for this DVD is the presence of Bud Powell as a guest with Mingus and Dolphy at the 1960 Antibes concert, which also features trumpeter Ted Curson, tenor saxophonist Booker Ervin, and Richmond. Powell is in good form for this stage of his career and is quite adventurous in his solo, though it is Dolphy's exciting alto that easily takes top honors for this track. One caveat: at 43 minutes total time, this import has a rather hefty price for a relatively short program.

People put down Dolphy’s playing, but I think they do not understand his innovation. Just as bebop used the upper partials of a chord (like d f and a of a c chord) w their chordal substitutions in their improvisation. Dolphy would after improvise staying in the upper partial, for example improvising on A7 on a C chord. This gave his work a dissonant, bi-tonal quality. He also moved towards free jazz and kind of was a fellow traveler w Ornette Coleman.
