ian Ballantine is considered one of the finest jazz vibraphone players in the world, as well as playing piano and flute. Based in London, England his discography includes jazz from smooth solo virtuoso playing to duos, trios and quartets (plus Ian's band Semuta). Working with some of Britain's outstanding musicians, playing anything from standards to fusion with the Ballantine/Shaw Band playing great originals.

The Ballantine/Shaw Band is a fusion of guitar and vibes sounds with rhythms from rock to Latin. This is a band that only plays original material. It includes co-leader Kenny Shaw on guitar who has worked with a vast number of famous names. Harvey Weston on bass and Trevor Tomkins on drums complete the line-up. These superb and highly experienced musicians have worked with far too many names to mention. As this band has been working together for so many years it can be said that the sum is now greater than the parts.
