Description
A specially-priced 3-CD box brings together the marvellous recordings made in the late 1970s and early 1980s by the trio of trumpeter Don Cherry, percussionist Nana Vasconcelos and sitar player and multi-instrumentalist Collin Walcott: Codona, Codona 2 and Codona 3. Delightful listening, these albums by three highly-innovative musicians are also milestones in the history of improvisation between the genres - world music before there was a name for it.
The beauty of Codona is in the trio's open-mindedness, proposing equal rights for all the idioms, and for music of all the continents. The group was a coming together of three highly-innovative musicians, each an inventive sound explorer.
Recorded 1978-82
