Jasper's arrangements, instrumentation, and unique chord structures as a classically trained musician have been credited as the foundation of the legendary "Isley Brothers sound", which Jasper has continued in his own solo recordings. Between The Sheets was their final album as a six-member group. Jasper was the primary songwriter, producer, and arranger of The Isley Brothers music from 1973 ( 3+3) through 1983 ( Between the Sheets), with contributions by younger members Ernie and Marvin Isley. Although all six members of the Isley Brothers are credited as songwriters of the music from the 3+3 era, this was a business arrangement and does not reflect the creative reality. Their debut release during this time was the 3+3 album. In 1973, Jasper, Marvin, and Ernie brought the songwriting and musical component to the older Isley Brothers' vocal trio, transitioning the Isley Brothers into a self-produced, self-contained six-member R&B/Funk band. Jasper's first of many songs written for the Isley Brothers was "Love Put Me on a Corner" released on the Isleys' Brother, Brother, Brother album in 1972. While still in college, Jasper, Ernie, and Marvin toured with the older Isley Brothers and played on the earlier recordings, including "It's Your Thing". Along with Jasper, Marvin and Ernie also attended C.W. The band played local gigs in the New Jersey area.
