UPDATE - 2/12@2:24PM: Power Windows found a previously recorded live version of the song here. In this version, which is not on the album, Tom Sawyer is more easily recognizable - especially towards the end.

The Alex Skolnick Trio is an experimental jazz band formed by former Testament guitarist Alex Skolnick in 2001. They are known for their inventive jazz take on hard rock and heavy metal classics. Their new album Last Day in Paradise will be released on March 15th. It consists of seven original compositions along with three arrangements of hard rock standards including Rush's Tom Sawyer. You can listen to this heavily "jazzified" and barely recognizable version of Tom Sawyer at this location or use the player above. For more information and audio samples go here.
