Dave Matthews Band sax player dies at 46

LeRoi Moore, the versatile saxophonist whose signature staccato fused jazz and funk overtones onto the eclectic sound of the Dave Matthews Band, died Tuesday of complications from injuries he suffered in an all-terrain vehicle accident, the band said. He was 46.

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

So sad. He was too young. So very talented.

Too true - so sad... Dave Matthews Band brought a lot of joy into my life, and LeRoi Moore's sax was a huge part of it. He will be missed.

Ditto, ditto, ditto. My Dave infatuation has led me to see the band in concert 4 times, and you could seriously see all of LeRoi's soul -- musically and metaphorically! -- right there on stage. Definitely time to listen to some of those awesome, endless interludes in tribute.

This is very sad. The Dave Matthews Band is an amazing jam band, and LeRoi was an amazing musician. Me and some friends are arranging a small memorial at our coffee shop. Nothing like hanging out and listening to Dave and good friends with good friends.
