Matthews-#41 arr. Bunting-V

"I have been a somewhat obsessive fan of Dave Matthews (b. 1967) and the Dave Matthews Band since the late 1990s. Their incredible musicianship and constantly evolving sound increasingly captivate me as I mature as a musician. Though their library, live and studio, includes hundreds of songs, "#41" has long been my favorite. In my arrangement, I present the structure of the tune as Dave wrote it followed by a solo over the verse chords. In composing the solo section, I chose to include a few licks from live versions of the song played by the late LeRoi Moore, founding saxophonist of the band who was killed in an ATV accident in 2008, in hopes of evoking the musical spirit that got me hooked on this band many years ago."
