Adonis Rose Quintet – Song For Donise

I generally find that I enjoy the drummer led Young Lions records more than leader dates by the horns. Something about how foregrounding the rhythm smooths out some of the issues that plague the period. I enjoy this record. 

One person who always confuses me is Tim Warfield. On this album and others he seems to come up with odd measures that don't fit into the bars properly. I never understood why someone like Payton had him around but then I am not a musician and perhaps there is something admirable there.

Donald Brown - French Kiss . . .  (Space Time, rec. 1999)
with Essiet Essiet (b) and Billy Kilson (d) plus Jérôme Barde (g, trks: 4, 6, 7, 10) and Miguel "Angá" Díaz (perc, trks: 3, 4, 😎        

 

Does anyone know the story of Brown leaving the Jazz Messengers in 1982? Most on-line stories say it was due to arthritis, which I can understand as I have just a touch of it in my left wrist and it can be painful. But Brown went on to teach at various schools and record 20+ albums, including quite a few live dates which would indicate that live performance was not an issue. Were Blakey's charts just too much for his arthritis?
