Music notes: LeRoi Moore Fund is established

Three schools will benefit from college scholarship programs created by The LeRoi Moore Fund. The trust of the late Dave Matthews Band saxophonist -- a Charlottesville resident -- will grant North Carolina Central University, Albemarle High School and the University of Virginia School of Nursing with four-year scholarships to begin with the 2010-2011 academic year. The fund also will make annual contributions to Toys for Tots, Habitat for Humanity, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and Blue Ridge Area Food Bank. Moore died in August 2008 from complications after an ATV accident earlier that summer. . . . Janet Jackson will make a special appearance at the start of Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards. Jackson is expected to open the show with a tribute to her brother Michael. The live show airs at 9 p.m. . . .

Jay-Z's "Answer the Call" charity concert at Madison Square Garden tomorrow will be televised live on Fuse at 9 p.m. The show will raise money for the New York Police and Fire Widows' and Children's Benefit Fund. . . .
