My favourite track from Shaun's Jazz Metal album .. I actually got mine directly from him .. nice guy.

DrJazzTap

My mate turned me onto these guys. It's what I'd class as Jazz metal, very metal sounding drums. And I think this is a great cover.

Shaun is a proper nice guy too:

So was I. He's such a brilliant, eloquent speaker about music too, worth checking some of his interviews out.

I bought Shaun Baxter's Jazz Metal when it came out. Excellent record. Seen him live as well.

Too bad he hasn't released more stuff (well, I don't think he has??)

I was at that one too. Brilliant player, he did an amazing solo version of Little Wing.

He was involved in a serious car accident - as I recall he stationary at a set of traffic lights when a car smashed into the back of him. It derailed his guitar playing. I've not heard from him for years.

I think he ended up with acute tinnitus so wasn't able to tour or record due to noise aggravation.  I assume/hope he was still able to physically play so probably spent the type brushing up one his already amazing technique.

From the latest stuff I've heard about him, he sometimes goes months at a time without playing, doing things like writing syllabuses for educational institutions. The recordings for his Guitar Techniques columns are done in huge binges at Phil Hilborne's place so the mag has a steady stream of articles.
