In the 1970's, famed Japanese percussionist/composer Stomu
Yamashta recorded a series of legendary (and long out-of-
print) albums with his Go ensemble that have been a Holy Grail
among aficionados of jazz fusion/space rock. Raven has
combined all three Go albums for "The Complete Go Sessions":
featuring three complete albums: "Go" (1976), the double LP
"Go: Live From Paris" (1976) and "Go Too" (1977) on a 2CD set,
over 145 minutes of music with superb audio quality. Yamashta
recorded these albums with a stellar cast of English, European
and American musicians - a true East meets West collaboration
of tremendous scope. Features prominent contributions from
master musicians Steve Winwood, Al DiMeola, Michael Shrieve,
Klaus Schulze, Paul Buckmaster, Pat Thrall, soul diva Linda
Lewis.
This disc contains all of the GO recordings (both studio and
live). The live show (starting at the end of disc 1 and
continuing on disc 2) is the real prize here. It is,
essentially, the first studio disc with some added tunes.
Highlights are "Winner/Loser", "Crossing The Line" and "Man Of
Leo".
