Colin Walcott, Don Cherry and
Nana Vasconcelos got together in the early
1980's and recorded Codona, an amalgamation of different
styles. The acoustic elements are decidedly ethnic; the sound
design is assuredly world beat; the atmospheres are definitely
ambient. This CD is a very important piece in the new age puzzle.
Its influence is still heard in tribal ambient and ethno tribal
albums in the new millennium. (next CD below)
Colin Walcott, Don Cherry and Nana Vasconcelos
had a great time recording Codona. They enjoyed it enough
to make Codona 2, a similar and different sound. They drew
on the same diverse references and they honed their sound design
skills to allow the styles to compliment with a broader appeal.
So, the sound is similar and different.
Codona 3 is the final installment from the collaborative
ensemble of Colin Walcott, Don Cherry and Nana Vasconcelos.
It is an absolutely wonderful set, easily the crown jewel of the
trilogy. The performances are flawless and the virtuosity of each
performer sparkles. The entire trilogy is essential. This disc is
special.
