Cherry, Don/collin Walcott/nana Vasconcelos
Codona Live Willisau (2lp)
The magical encounter of three skillful players, right before their self titled debut on ECM. On September 1, 1978, the musical trio Codona performed live in Willisau, Switzerland. This Swiss FM broadcast captured Codona in full flight, with Collin Walcott on sitar, Don Cherry on trumpet, and Nana Vasconcelos on percussion. Their performance weaved a magical web of sound. The opening track, 'New Light,' is a 16-minute journey of pure joy.
