Ray Draper • The Legendary Tuba Sounds

 

Review from AllMusic (by Scott Yanow):
One of the first tuba players to lead his own recording session in a bebop setting, Ray Draper was only 16 when he recorded the music on this CD reissue, his debut. Teamed in a sextet with trumpeter Webster Young (also making his recording debut), altoist Jackie McLean, pianist Mal Waldron, bassist Spanky DeBrest, and drummer Ben Dixon, Draper fits in pretty well. His solos are sometimes a touch awkward rhythmically and it takes one a little while to get used to his sound in this setting but, overall, this is a successful effort. The fairly modern sextet performs straight-ahead originals by Draper, Young, and Waldron in addition to the standard "You're My Thrill."

Reseña de AllMusic (por Scott Yanow):
Uno de los primeros tubistas en liderar su propia sesión de grabación en un entorno bebop, Ray Draper tenía apenas 16 años cuando grabó la música de esta reedición en CD, su debut. Formado en un sexteto con el trompetista Webster Young (también en su debut discográfico), el altista Jackie McLean, el pianista Mal Waldron, el bajista Spanky DeBrest y el baterista Ben Dixon, Draper encaja bastante bien. Sus solos son a veces un poco torpes rítmicamente y lleva un tiempo acostumbrarse a su sonido en este contexto, pero en general es un esfuerzo exitoso. El sexteto de estilo bastante moderno interpreta originales directos de Draper, Young y Waldron, además del standard "You're My Thrill."
