A real treat for me was my first exposure to “The Right Mix Band” during Arts for All Festival last weekend. I really enjoy smooth jazz as well as other types of jazz, but I have to buy it on CD, online, or use internet radio, because we don’t have a radio station in Southwest Oklahoma dedicated to that genre. I have to tell you I was not disappointed in what I heard. For one and a half hours I sat on the grass, swayed with the beat, and took pix with my 135/1.8, to my hearts content. It was so sweet! The band consists of Andi and Carlos Messina, Austin Box, Joe Cook, Jerhamy Bennett, and the drummer whose name I didn’t catch. I’m definitely going to keep my eyes and ears open for another opportunity to catch another performance. I strongly encourage you to do the same!
