Album Description: 2008 reissue of this album from the master percussionist who studied Jazz drumming at Berklee School of Jazz.

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.
