Jade Stone And Luv ‎– Mosaics Pieces Of Stone (Reissue) (1977/2008)

The sole album from male-female duo Jade Stone & Luv is a lost gem from the heart of the psychedelic 1970s. Composed and self-produced in Nashville, 'Mosaics; Pieces Of Stone' went unnoticed by the music industry upon release. Fortunately for us, it didn't disappear forever, but simply went into retreat, biding its time. While almost unknown outside specialist circles, 'Mosaics' has been an underground cult favorite for many years. The combination of top-level songwriting, skillful guitar/keyboard arrangements and soaring vocals is just too impressive to ignore. And beyond these obvious qualities, the album has something subtle and unique, a magnetic power that keeps drawing the listener back. One of Jade Stone & Luv's earliest advocates was the legendary New York City musicologist Paul Major. Here's a typical Major impression of the music on 'Mosaics'.
