The Essential Chris Jasper 2015

This particular release by ex ISLEY BROTHER, CHRIS JASPER is not a album of new music, it is a masterful compilation, a reissue of songs meticulously extracted from the albums: ISLEY JASPER ISLEY: "BROADWAY'S CLOSER TO SUNSET BLVD", "CARAVAN OF LOVE" and "DIFFERENT DRUMMER", then his solo efforts: "SUPERBAD" and "TIME BOMB" albums respectively.
Mr. JASPER was an integral part of the super vocal and instrumental group THE ISLEY BROTHERS, he was responsible for most of the writing and the arrangement of the ISLEY albums "3=3", from 1973 to the now classic "BETWEEN THE SHEETS" released in 1983.
His writing and arranging gifts really became paramount with ISLEY JASPER ISLEY and even more so as a solo artist, the songs go right across the musical spectrum in terms of sound and message, there's also a spiritual tie-in as well.
This is a double Compact Discs set with a high-quality digitally remastered sound, with 29 songs, this is a most essential set indeed!!! A perfect introduction to the works of this remarkably gifted man.
Hits with the magic sound like: "GIVIN' YOU BACK THE LOVE", "GIVING MY ALL", "CARAVAN OF LOVE", "SANCTIFIED YOU", "INSATIABLE WOMAN", "BROTHER TO BROTHER", "THE FIRST TIME", "SERVE YOU RIGHT", "ONCE IN A LIFETIME LADY" and "SUBERBAD", just to name a few are all showcased here!!...over two hours of pure listening experience, which will certainly last a lifetime. It's a perfect gift, very highly recommended for any CHRIS JASPER fan or any one who needs strong, excellent music...but remember, this compilation is just the tip of a very massive "iceberg", once absorbed and assimilated in the soul, a primal urge will encourage you to explore more of the incredible body of sheer excellence of CHRIS JASPER.
