Codona 3 is the third and final album by jazz trio Codona—featuring sitarist and tabla player Collin Walcott, trumpeter Don Cherry and percussionist Naná Vasconcelos—recorded in September 1982 and released on ECM the following year.

[1] In his AllMusic review, Bruce Eder called the album "a sublimely beautiful release" and "a joyously stunning last testament for Walcott, who died not long after these recordings were completed".

[2] Robert Palmer commented that the album continued the group's "singular odyssey", and stated that "they expand their scope with borrowings from ancient Japan and a country blues accompanied by Mr. Cherry's West African hunter's harp.

"[5] Regarding the opening track, John Kelman, writing for All About Jazz, stated: "Cherry's trumpet is the primary voice, with Walcott's hammered dulcimer creating a spacious and ethereal backdrop where empty space is, indeed, as profound and meaningful as anything the members of the group specifically play.

Cherry's brassy ether drips with sympathetic effect; hammered dulcimer hurls its delicate, insectile hiccups; untold lives tease us with their possibilities.
