The year is 1976. The artist is the late great Collin Walcott.
Collin Walcott is probably best know for his work with Oregon and CODONA.
The passing of percussion great Nana Vasconcellos earlier this year brings a coda to CODONA. Solace is John Abercrombie, Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette are still alive and well and as creative as ever.
Believe it or not- there is no link available to Cloud Dance on YouTube at this time, so you will just have to do yourself a favor and purchase it. A transcription of the tune is available at the excellent blog JTA- The Jazz Trancript Authority
The drums come into the song late, which is where the transcription starts. Delicate, crisp and airy DeJohnette.
