CHRIS JASPER "Raises The Bar" with the June Release of his New Music!

NEW YORK - EntSun -- New Music from Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient and Songwriter and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Chris Jasper … "RAISE THE BAR" features Chris Jasper's familiar keyboard work and sweet vocal harmony arrangements. From romantic ballads, "Hey Love," "The Way You Love Me," and "I Promise" to the funky title track "Raise The Bar" to the uptempo driving beat of "I Love Rhythm and Blues," and more, the album is a collection of soulful R&B and Funk sure to please music lovers everywhere.

CHRIS JASPER was a member and primary songwriter for the ISLEY BROTHERS f1973-1983) and ISLEY-JASPER-ISLEY (1984 -1987). In 1988, Chris Jasper went solo and has since released 17 self-contained, self-produced albums with the same soulful R&B and Funk sound he created for the Isleys. Chris Jasper's arrangements and instrumentation as a classically-trained musician, and his expertise on the keyboards and synthesizers, have been called the foundation of the legendary "Isley Brothers Sound."

Excerpts from early reviews of "Raise The Bar" have applauded the new album ...

"[A]fter years of being the creative force behind the sounds of the Isley Brothers and Isley Jasper Isley, Jasper returns to those themes in his latest project, the consistently solid album Raise the Bar. Jasper's latest project will have an air of familiarity to Isley Brothers fans and to those who have followed his solo career across the 16 R&B and gospel albums he's released over the years. Jasper sticks to what works and that is ballads showcasing his velvety tenor with a premium on romance, up-tempo tracks that feature a funky and propulsive bass line, and Jasper's masterful work on the keyboards...an identifiable sound that comes through in the artist's world view and attitude as well as musical choices he makes. In a world where so much is changing that familiarity is comforting, inspiring and enjoyable."  Howard Dukes, reviewer for Soultracks. [Read Full Review Here]

"Chris Jasper Raises The Bar...New music from garlanded  soul vet CHRIS  JASPER is always welcome ..Romantic...Funky...Socially Conscious...The album's title track delivers a strong social message, proffered over a tough, sparse, crunching track that recalls the best funk moments from old Isley Brothers and Isley-Jasper-Isley LPs...[W]hether the song has a religious feel, a socio/political message with a tough funk back beat or a romantic ballad the sound is unmistakenly the sound of Chris Jasper. No one delivers quite like he does… long may it continue!" Bill Buckley, reviewer for Soul, Jazz. Funk [Read Full Review Here]
