Info zu Codona (Remastered)

Codona is an album by the American sitarist and tabla player Collin Walcott, American jazz trumpeter Don Cherry and Brazilian jazz percussionist Naná Vasconcelos (collectively known by the acronym Codona). It was recorded in September 1978 and released on ECM the following year — the first of three self-titled albums by the trio.

"where everything is possible and no single stylistic marker could define its sound and aesthetic", and wrote: "Despite the large improvisational component of Codona ... there's no question that this was a group with a concept. Given the vast number of instruments the trio had to work with, just the matter of choosing the right instruments for each piece suggests that considerable forethought went into all three of the group's recordings.... And while Codona possessed a unique ability to create a surprisingly rich soundscape from the sparest of instrumental combinations ... on record the trio did take advantage of overdubbing to create more expansive audioscapes.... While later Codona releases would be more democratic, compositionally speaking... Codona's original music, other than the self-titled improv, is all from the sitarist/percussionist's pen, with one significant exception. Brief though it may be, at less than four minutes, 'Colemanwonder' is a curious medley of music from Ornette Coleman ('Race Face' and 'Sortie') and Stevie Wonder (his hit single, 'Sir Duke'). The idea of combining Coleman with Wonder may be as oblique as the late T.J. Kirk's combination of Thelonious Monk, James Brown and Rahsaan Roland Kirk, but it works almost in spite of itself, as Vasconcelos' cuica... interacts throughout with Cherry's trumpet and Walcott's sitar."
