Jett was born in 1960 and grew up in East St. Louis, Illinois, in a large family of thirteen children. His father played drums with blues legends Little Milton and Albert King, and he gave Jett his first guitar. After his discharge from the Navy in his early twenties, Jett threw himself into music, and like many aspiring bluesmen in the St. Louis area, he learned from the elder statesmen of his day, particularly Tommy Bankhead, with whom he played for three years in the Blues Eldorados.
Jett was a regular contributor to the St. Louis Blues Society and its Guitar Masters concert series, and he is remembered for hosting numerous jam sessions in which he encouraged and mentored a younger generation of musicians. The bands he led included the Alvin Jett Band, Jett Sett, No Exit, the Hired Help and ultimately Phat noiZ, the group for which he's now best remembered. With Phat noiZ he recorded three albums -- Wet My Beak, Milk and Cookies and Honeybowl -- and garnered awards from the International Blues Challenge and the International Songwriting Competition.
In 2012, Jett moved to San Francisco to live with his brothers and, as Bauer says, "get his life back on track." He continued to perform in San Francisco and, according to Bauer, he was practicing his guitar when he died of a heart attack on the day before Christmas Eve.
