After attending the Manhattan School of Music, he played and recorded with Jackie McLean (1956-1957), worked with Donald Byrd , and recorded with John Coltrane (1958). Draper was with Max Roach 's band (1958-1959) and worked with Don Cherry in the early '60s. However, from that point on drugs played havoc with his life. He did play later in the 1960s with Horace Tapscott , Archie Shepp , Brother Jack McDuff (recording with him in 1971), and Howard Johnson 's group Gravity , but had largely dropped out of music by the time he was killed during a robbery. Draper led sessions during 1957-1960 for Prestige, New Jazz, Jubilee, and Epic . .ALL MUSIC GUIDE ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________ WE COMBINE SHIPPING!
