He adds nothing of value, sound wise, and the band did just fine - in fact you could argue much better before he got involved.
Does he add director value, I am sure but to make it out like he is the reason DMB is where they are so to speak is laughable imo.
He also is the least talented on stage imo and Jeff could blow him off the front if he wanted too.

There are lots of takes in this post that I want to pick apart because you're being a real jerk about a guy who's been in the band since 2005, but this one got me. Dude is well-educated, incredibly accomplished, and literally creates many of the on-stage and in-studio arrangements we hear. It's one thing to say "I don't like the way his trumpet sounds with DMB," and leave it at that, but don't be a dick about it. The band looks up to him
because of how talented he is. It's why LeRoi brought him to the band in the first place. It's just uncalled for, much like most of this thread and their personal attacks based on the fact they don't like the sound of his playing.
