I'd much rather listen to a show with Roi and admittedly don't really care for dmbs current sound but after thinking about it a bit, it's not really fair to compare the two. Jeff does not have any of the creative leway that Roi had in the band. It seems he's basically Dave's studio sax player. Not to mention having to compete with rashawn blasting away on that trumpet. If it were just Jeff, I think it would be much different.
I also would have preferred branford and if they had to have a trumpet player I would have rathered dearth. Although at this point without a violin, it doesn't make much of a difference.
