The daughter of ‘Cats In The Cradle’ singer Harry Chapin, Jen Chapin is a New York urban folk singer/songwriter and activist with an appetite for social justice. In 2008, accompanied solely by her husband, bassist Stephan Crump, and saxophonist Chris Cheek, she created reVisions in which she reimagined a collection of Stevie Wonder songs to offer social commentary on Barack Obama’s historic rise to power. As much a testament to Chapin’s unique artistic sensibility as a celebration of the enduring appeal and relevance of Wonder’s songs, ReVisions, which also includes two self-penned numbers, puts a new spin on Wonder classics like ‘Masterblaster (Jammin’),’ ‘You Haven’t Done Nothin’,’ ‘Higher Ground’ and ‘Village Ghetto Land.’ Bolstered with new liner notes featuring a recent interview with Jen Chapin, ReVisions: The Songs Of Stevie Wonder is reissued in 2026 as part of the Chesky Original Masters series.
