He recorded for Victor and Brunswick in the late 1920's-early 1940's. He also recorded a handful of vocals for Isham Jones in 1931. His high tenor voice made him popular in feature films and shorts.
Jarrett appeared in several films during the 1930s, including several B Westerns. His band never achieved a high level of popularity, and he disbanded it in 1940 to take over leadership of the Hal Kemp Orchestra after Kemp died. The attempt to keep the Kemp band going fizzled, however, and the group broke up after only a few months.
Jarrett continued to lead orchestras throughout the 1940s. In 1950 he appeared on the Rhythm Rodeo television program. He later worked as a disc jockey and then a salesman.
