CODONA is a jazz trio born during the late 70's. CODONA's name is derived from the leading letters of the first
names of its three members. It has an Indian feel due to the presence of sitar/tabla player Collin Walcott ("co"). He
is accompanied by the trumpeter Don Cherry ("do") who is a founder of free jazz, (notably worked with the Indian
jazz fusion artist L. Shankar), the adventurous Brazilian percussionist Nana Vasconcelos ("na"), also known for his
work with the Pat Metheny Group. Next to Walcott personal "eastern" touch, this project is also a great fusion
between several "world" influences, from Africa, to Japan. Three "eclectic", "ethereal" albums have been released
for ECM.
