Most notably, Chet’s playing was featured on the Academy and Grammy Award nominated soundtrack of “Les Triplettes de Belleville”, composed by Ben Charest. He has performed and recorded alongside many great jazz artists such as Dave Douglas, Maria Schneider, Jan Jarczyk and Oliver Jones. His debut recording, Sidewalk Etiquette (Justin Time Records 8516-2), features his original compositions in a quartet setting.
