Reviews of 'Fly On Strangewings'
Jade (original LP 1970; reissued four times since 2003)
A beautiful record recalling the best material by (their British) contemporaries but with an added US West Coast twist
Record Collector, September 2003
Marianne Segal's songs mine a rich seam of introspection with cut-glass restraint and tunes that hang around long after their conclusion

- Pete Sears, of Jefferson Starship, who played bass on the album, said in this Let It Rock interview from 2010, "I've played on over a hundred and fifty albums since 1964 ... not all good of course, and the Jade album still remains one of my favorites."
