LeRoi[1] Moore (born September 7, 1961) is the saxophonist for the Dave Matthews Band.
He plays bass, baritone, tenor, alto, and soprano saxophones, as well as the flute, bass clarinet and wooden penny whistle.
LeRoi's Woodwind Tech, David Saull, notes that LeRoi has "quite an extensive horn collection." As of 2002, it includes a Buescher bass saxophone, Selmer Mark VI and Yamaha baritone saxophones, two Selmer Mark VI tenor saxophones, two Selmer Mark VI alto saxophones, a Yamaha soprano, and a Selmer Super-80 Series 3 soprano, according to Saull.
In addition to performing with the Dave Matthews Band, LeRoi has also appeared on Code Magenta's self-titled album, and on Soko's album In November Sunlight.
