Adonis Rose & The N.O. Vaders
Biography
New Orleans is a good place to grow up as a drummer. The unique rhythm and funky bac kbeat of the city's music become a part of life's imprinting process that gives a drummer a special feel for his subject matter. Drummer Adonis Rose is in that number of who share that advantage in working with some of the top jazz musicians from the Birthplace of Jazz.



While still in his early twenties, Adonis Rose won the esteem of fellow artists who have received acclaim at an early age. Rose plays drums with other young jazz lions such as Roland Guerin, Irvin Mayfield, Derek Douget, and Nicholas Payton, as well as the revered former Jazz Messenger, Donald Harrison, Sr.. Perhaps their shared experience of New Orleans makes them sympatico. There is no doubt they make good music together at gigs in their hometown, at venues like the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, Snug Harbor, the Funky Butt, and Donna's Bar & Grill. On the national and international scene as well, the horn men often turn to Adonis Rose to provide that indefinable back beat. Rose can be heard on the drums on CD's such as Harrison's Spirits of Congo Square; Douget's Perpetual Motion, also released in 2002; and Irvin Mayfield's 1999 eponymous CD.
