The record
Baritone saxophone paired with tuba is a low, strange sound, and that is what Gil Mellé and Don Butterfield give you, with Lou Mecca's guitar and no pianist named in the credits. Rudy Van Gelder engineered and mastered it. Mellé also drew the cover. Four pieces on a ten-inch Blue Note, BLP 5063, Leonard Feather on the back.
