I think it's just called "Ray Draper Quintet". Two tunes from the album are also available on the CD issue of Coltrane's "The Believer." I hate tuba too, and the two tracks I heard on the Believer are just awful. Trane plays a decent solo on one, but as for Ray, well, I can't help laughing.Michael K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04958632732437092570noreply@blogger.com
