CHRIS JASPER is a true soul hero. In the 70s and 80s, of course, he was an integral member of the ISLEY BROTHERS. He helped shape their remarkable and unique sound and wrote and produced classics like ‘For The Love Of You’ and ‘Between The Sheets’. As one third of the spin-off ISLEY-JASPER-ISLEY, CHRIS was also responsible for the anthemic ‘Caravan Of Love’. He’s worked solo since 1998 and regularly crafts albums that are treasured by soul collectors. The good news is that he’s just released his latest solo album – ‘Everything I Do’ – on his own Gold City Music label and the 10 tracker is stuffed with quality modern soul.
CHRIS has also found time to work on a new album from his son – MICHAEL JASPER. Young MIKE’S LP is called ‘Addictive’ and daddy JASPER contributes talkbox and background vocals as well as acting as co-producer. ‘Addictive’ is also out on Gold City Music and it’s a heady mix of soulful pop and techno and includes a tribute to the allied forces currently serving abroad. Full reviews of both albums on SJF very soon… in the meantime go to www.goldcitymusic.com for more info.
