Eclectic Discs are pleased to release the classic albums
recorded by the legendary Jade Warrior for Island recordshery
Red Records between 1974 and 1978. The duo of guitarist Tony
Duhig and virtuoso flautist and woodwind player Jon Field were
signed to Island records in 1974, following the recent break
up of the four piece Jade Warrior (who recorded three albums
for Vertigo records between 1970 and 1973). Island founder
Chris Blackwell signed the duo upon the recommendation of
Steve Winwood, declaring Jade Warrior to be "an ornament to my
label". Blackwell gave Duhig and Field access to unlimited
studio time to create four albums that were later hailed as
instrumental masterpieces, all of which fused ethnic African
and far eastern influences with superbly innovative rock
guitar playing by Tony Duhig.
Kites is yet another milestone album and features the
extraordinary talents of Fred Frith (of experimental legends
Henry Cow) on violin and makes its debut as a CD release in
its own right. Kites has been re-mastered from the original
master tapes and features extensive liner notes, deluxe slip
case packaging and fully restored artwork.
