Everybody knows Mr. Jeff Scott Soto, the frontman that every band wants to have. His energy, vocal ability, writing talents substantiate this claim. He's definitely The frontman in melodic Rock and in addition to his entertaining abilities, he knows how to sing. Blending such diverse influences as Glenn Hughes, Ronnie James Dio,Steve Perry, Prince, Freddy Mercury and Seal, he can actually perform everything, from Funk and R&B to melodic Rock and Heavy Metal.
Lots of participation with illustrious artists (Yngwie J. Malmsteen's Rising Force, Axel Rudi Pell, Alex Masi etc) and countless performances in projects (Queen Convention in 2003, a Tribute To Iron Maiden, the Rockstar movie OST), consist his magnificence. In 2002 Jeff signed with melodic Rock kingpins Frontiers Records and ever since the man has been busy releasing 2 studio albums, 2 EP's and a live CD/DVD which also led to two world tours. Following a great success and airplay gathered on BBC national radio in the United Kingdom of his more ballad oriented material, 2006 introduces a compilation release featuring the best of JSS' softer side, which includes songs from all three solo albums (Love Parade, Prism and Lost In The Translation) and the limited EPs (Holding On and Believe In Me) as well as three new, unreleased tracks.
For the first time, these gems, these essentials, are together on one digitally re-mastered disc. More appreciated Send Her My love of Journey, an extraordinary interpretation, with his fantastic voice; just like it shout be!
Don't miss out on the perfect JSS collection to date!
