Cloud Dance is the debut album by American sitarist and composer Collin Walcott, released in 1975 on the ECM label.[1] For this record Walcott was joined by the group Gateway consisting of John Abercrombie, Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette. It was recorded in March 1975, as was the group's debut Gateway.[2] Two years earlier Abercrombie had worked with Walcott on David Liebman's Drum Ode (ECM 1046), and they collaborated again on Walcott's 1977 album Grazing Dreams.[3][4]
