What happened to the compositions after the original members left?

All the original compositions except ‘The Drum Thunder Suite’ became permanent staples of the Jazz Messengers’ book, even after Timmons and Golson departed. ‘Blues March’ became a signature piece that Blakey performed for decades, and a vocalese version of ‘Moanin’’ was later written by Jon Hendricks and recorded by Lambert, Hendricks & Ross, extending the song’s reach beyond jazz.
