When you’re kin to a former reigning zydeco monarch like Boozoo Chavis, there’s always pressure to uphold the family name. Though that’s something Leon Chavis has never forgotten, the good news is that he hasn’t capitalized on surname recognition. Instead, the 25-year-old Lawtell native has benefited more from his formal training as a trumpeter at Southern University (an unusual accomplishment for a zydeco musician) in addition to being mentored by R&B/zydeco vets papa “Chopper” and T-Broussard. When it came time to record, he didn’t rush the process but took nearly a year to deliver one of the freshest sounding debuts in recent memory. Chavis’ accordion playing exudes steady timing, accurate phrasing and a solid, buoyant tone. With Chavis and his Zydeco Flames supplying plenty of punch, smack and snap to the proceedings, every one of these dozen originals is toe-tapping and infectious enough to entice everyone within earshot to secure a spot on the dance floor and homestead it until closing time. His occasional finishing touches are intriguing, like the squelchy keyboards (“Intro”), funky bass notes (“Hot Girl”) and jazzy trumpet lines (“Casinos”) that recall the day when Warren Ceasar blew a hot horn in Clifton Chenier’s band.
