I took a very long detour one summer to visit Antibes in the south of France. Like a pilgrim, I was drawn to a place where a musical prophet had once shined a light. As I reclined on the white sand beaches of Antibes looking out across the warm Mediterranean, I understood how Charles Mingus and his band were able to flower so spectacularly in these fertile surroundings. It was in Antibes that Mingus and his disciples gathered one fabled summer night in 1960 to lay down a set of the most religiously joyous jazz-spirituals ever recorded. Mingus at Antibes is one of the few albums that reveals the healing potential of music, particularly Mingus’ music.
