The Five Jades formed in New York in 1963, and their career continued, albeit with some interruptions due to a series of personnel changes, through the 1980's. Originally released on Relic, this first recording by the Jades was 'reconstructed,' as the original masters were fatally compromised. The group's concept was to adapt popular R & B tunes and record them as a cappella versions, such as 'That's The Way It Goes,' (Harptones) and 'When I Fall In Love' (Flamingos), though they also had several original tunes of their own. Their material indicates a preference for jazz flavored four part chords. The Five Jades were founded by three brothers, Hector, David and Richard Rosado.
