Biography: LeRoi and
Carter have been jazz compatriots for years, playing together at paying gigs and
informal jam sessions. "Jazz is probably my main influence," admits
LeRoi, who also has classical training. "But at this stage I don't really
consider myself a jazz musician." For him, DMB remains a challenge because
there is room to explore, to respond to the expressions of the other four
players. "I have plenty of space to improvise, to try new ideas," says
LeRoi, whom Dave credits with arranging many of the songs he writes. "It's
almost better than a jazz gig."
