Jade

About This Release

Having grown up on jazz, Motown and gospel, vocalists Tonya Kelly, Joi Marshall and Di Reed – known collectively as Jade - could make just about anything sound good. It also helped that the R&B trio’s 1992 debut, Jade To The Max, had top-notch production and material to work with as well. Hitmaker/mentor Vassal Benford penned nearly half of the eleven songs here with co-producer Ron Spearman. The full length boasts four singles hitting the Top 100 - "I Wanna Love You" (# 16), "Don't Walk Away" (#4), "One Woman" (#22), and "Looking for Mr. Do Right" (#69) and went on to be certified Platinum. For Record Store Day 2026, Jade To The Max sees its first ever vinyl pressing in the US – appropriately on a Jade colored vinyl run.
