Nana Vasconcelos?


I have a number of LP's and CD's where Nana appears as a sideman. I'm looking for recommendations of CD's or LP's by Nana. Can you give any?

Codona band albums...
I think in most of the projects where he's in you can't say that he's a sideman. Everybody seems to be on the same level.
As Marakanetz noted, the 3 Codona lps on ECM with the late Colin Walcott are wonderful. Nana can also be heard on a number of ECM lps including Duas Vozes and Danca Das Cabecas with guitarist/pianist Egberto Gismonti(on ECM). His lp Bush Dance lp is a good place to begin for his own compositions.
Although I have the Cadona LP's, which Nana contributes on the same level as Don Cherry and Colin Walcott, I'm looking for something by him with his concepts; more into the unique Afro Brazilian thing. Bush Dance sounds like a good beginning. Have you heard anything by him in that category.
M2sweeneys, I got those two Bush dancer CD's. Nobody does Afro Brazilian like Nana. Thanks for the tip.
