Our Take

Don Cherry, Collin Walcott, and Nana Vasconcelos – the trio that brought us the mesmerizing musical journey that is Codona Live. Recorded in Willisau, Switzerland on September 1st, 1978, this album is a true gem for world music enthusiasts.

From the first note, you are transported to a magical realm where jazz, folk, and world music collide in a symphony of sound. Cherry's trumpet dances effortlessly with Walcott's sitar and Vasconcelos' percussion, creating a musical tapestry that is both intricate and hypnotic.

The live recording captures the energy and spontaneity of the trio's performance, bringing a sense of intimacy to the listener. Each track is a journey in itself, with moments of exuberant joy and reflective beauty.

The standout moments on the album include the ethereal "Hey Da Ba Doom", the pulsating "Clicky Clacky" and the haunting "Travel by Night". The trio's chemistry is undeniable, with each member bringing their unique talent to the table.
