Chet released record after record from the late 50s through the early 90s. Most featured his group the Mighty Avengers and were released on bandleader Al Sears’ group of labels, usually Sylvia. You’d expect a man with more than 20 singles to his name to have at least been acknowledged in the industry papers. But no, virtually nothing. The number of records he issued suggests a certain popularity, so why didn’t anyone know anything about him?
The music was never less than good and sometimes downright brilliant. This compilation looks at the sides he recorded for Sylvia in the 1970s – slick attempts at the sounds of the day, from James Brown-style funk numbers to faster and smoother proto-disco 45s. The labels tell us they were self-produced, often at Sigma Sound in Philadelphia, but little more. They deserve to be heard.
So we put this compilation together, then went looking for Chet. With the help of soul super-sleuth George Korval, we hunted high and low and began to build a picture of the life of a journeyman musician and DJ in the 1960s and 70s. After many months of searching, we found his base in Washington DC and the nearby Atlantic seaboard. What we discovered was tantalising, but never fully realised. In the end, much of the mystery remains.
What we are left with is a slew of great funk tracks. Whether the remake of Johnny Otis’ ‘So Fine’, the frenetic onslaught of ‘Bad On Bad’, or the dancefloor good times of ‘Get Down With The Geater’, these are records that will take the roof of a party and are sought after by DJs the world over.
