The record
A rare front-line spot for tuba, with Coltrane lending his tenor to a young Draper's date -- a curious, unheralded corner of both discographies from the late-'50s hard bop underground. DeBrest and Ritchie keep things loose while the horns work out an unlikely but rewarding blend of low brass and searching tenor lines.
