Go
Stomu Yamashta

Stomu Yamashta is a master percussionist who studied jazz drumming at the Berklee School Of Jazz. In the 1970’s he recorded a string of innovative albums for Island records which utilised the talents of such leading musicians as Hugh Hopper, Maurice Pert, Steve Winwood, Michael Shrieve and Klaus Schulze, fusing his percussion talents with jazz, electronic and classical music to creat an ambient form of music all of his own. His music has been used by the Royal Ballet.

Originally released in April 1976, ‘Go’ is perhaps Yamashta’s finest achievement and also featured collaborators Steve Winwood and Michael Shrieve along with artists such as Klaus Schulze and ex-Traffic and future Can bassist Rosko Gee.
