Jade Warrior
Jade Warrior was an eclectic group led by Jon Field and Tony Duhig, who met during the 1960s while working in a factory.
The band's sound combined straightforward rock with the sudden tempo changes and experimental instrumentation typical of the early '70s art-rock scene. Jade Warrior developed a loyal but small following and were prolific writers.
The music became increasingly dreamlike, pushing a lighter jazz sound to the forefront. During the Island period of 1974 to 1978, Jade Warrior albums featured myriad percussive sounds, creating a soothing, ethereal feel, only to shatter it with gongs and unexpectedly raucous electric guitar, usually from Tony Duhig.
Jade Warrior maintained a distinct style. The band's foray into what would later be labeled World and Ambient music, parallels the excursions of Brian Eno, who himself described ‘Floating Worlds’ as an important album.
