LeRoi Moore of the Dave Matthews Band has passed away. On June 30th 2008 Moore crashed his ATV on his farm in Virginia resulting in a punctured lung. After a few days in the hospital he was released and expected to recover at home. Suffering complications he was readmitted to the hospital days later. A couple weeks had gone by without much news on his condition only to find that today he took a turn for the worse and passed away at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles. In Moore's sted, Jeff Coffin of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones has been filling in for Dave Matthews Band. Tonights show went on as scheduled. LeRoi Moore will be greatly missed in the Dave Matthews Band community. Roi was 46.
Here are two songs that I think are very sweet and fitting for a day like today. They are mellow instrumentals showcasing the jazz styling of Roi. Enjoy!
