Play on LeRoi :(

>> Wednesday, August 20, 2008

One of the founding members of Dave Matthews Band, LeRoi Moore, passed away yesterday. He was incredibly talented on the saxophone and other instruments for DMB.

Not everyone likes DMB, but personally I love them. They blend so many different styles of music into their own unique sound. Jazz, Rock, Blues etc. Acoustic guitars, drums, violins, sax and other horns, keyboards, bass ... all mixed together for a sound unlike most of the standard fare out there. A big part of their sound was LeRoi's saxophone. He will be sorely missed.

DMB puts on an incredible live show if you ever get a chance to go see them. Absolutely amazing live.

I will leave you with a video of DMB performing the song '#41' live. This song features LeRoi pretty heavily. It's a great live version of the song and worth a watch, but if you are impatient, you can let it load and skip to 4:45 which is where his big solo starts.



Play on LeRoi. You will be missed.
