Codona Treasure Fine Art Print
I got to join @brad.newman on a date at the Starry Night theater in PDX, now the Roseland. It was April 1983 and we were underaged so we had to sit in the top level of the venue.
We saw Codona, a trio of Collin Walcott, Don Cherry, and Naná Vasconcelos. Each one of them was a musical force on their own, but the trio was a gift to the universe. On the stage was a beautiful rug, we got the best view from above.
The music was rich and fascinating, so complex and my heart and mind felt forever changed. Don’t you love when that happens? The blending of music from the accomplished and talented Naná, the skronky notes from free jazz genius of Don Cherry, the cool tabla stylings of Collin who studied sitar with Ravi Shankar and tabla under Alla Rakha. It was the most delicious musical recipe that could have been created by each of those musicians! It was a multi-instrumental extravaganza. My heart was busted open!
I’m ecstatic to have met a person who knew such music existed and knew we should not miss this! That has not changed and I’m grateful.
These musicians have left us, and the world longs for them still. Explore their unique life stories to learn more. Years later we got to meet David Ornette Cherry at the Blue Monk (RIP). It was a MLK Jr. day event and was a beautiful musical event. David came to talk to everyone, and we shared the story of this show and he said he was there on that tour with his father! He said he’d been given one of the instruments that was played that night, like a miniature ngoni. He was so kind. He sadly left this world too soon due to an illness.
This art captures the blue of the sky and the warmth of earth and wood and to remind us of moments where things happen that we didn’t expect and were changed by it. The charcoal strokes are to remind us that life is fragile and so we should treasure each moment that we are offered. Let us do it kind people! #fineartprints #codona #doncherry #nanavasconcelos #collinwalcott #treasures #abstractart
