Jeff Baxter joined Steely Dan in 1972 after working as a guitar technician and quickly became one of the band's original recording members. Playing lead guitar and pedal steel guitar, he contributed to the group's early sound on albums including Can't Buy a Thrill, Countdown to Ecstasy, and Pretzel Logic.
