> LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dave Matthews Band saxophone player LeRoi Moore, one of the group’s founding members and a key part of its eclectic jazz-infused sound, died Tuesday from sudden complications stemming from injuries he sustained in an all-terrain vehicle accident in June. He was 46.
I’m not sure if there are many fellow DMB fans on here. LeRoi was one of the best saxophone/woodwind players I have ever had the opportunity to see play. 46 is just way too young ☹
“…cause life is short, but sweet for certain…”
RIP :meh:

i don’t doubt he was good or even great, but how many woodwind players HAVE you had the opportunity to see?
aside from school band, i don’t think i’ve seen more than a small handful.

hey thats cool, to each their own. Those that have seen them live can agree I’m sure, this guy was amazingly talented.
newman- only other names that come to mind that Ive actually seen live are Dave Schiavone and Sam Skamaka(sp?), other than that, just the woodwind sections integrated into a few different orchestra shows i’ve had the displeasure of sitting through. LeRoi was by far my favorite, though.

I’ve seen just a few more then a handful… this guy was very good. Not quite great.

I used to like DMB alot a few years back, but have really outgrown them.

actually he is well known around the world outside of DMB for his woodwind skills. It is one thing to hate the genre of music, but to say they are all not talented is just stupid. Watch a live show and then tell me they are not incredible musicians.
