Join us for “Mix on Your Six” Celebrating the Life & Legacy of Darrell Mixon. We all loved his music, but most of all we loved watching him play. His body radiated music. He danced
with his instrument. No matter which axe he played, it became an extension of him and his energy.
We have gathered together musicians from all over the St. Louis region to share their musical memories of “Mix,” and we’ll also hear remarks from some of the folks he worked with who are unable to join us in person. The bill will include performances from Alfred Barnes, Ptah Williams, the Silverman Brothers, Gary Sykes, Jon Whiting, Curt Landis, Erika Johnson, Kendrick Smith, and the students from HEAL Center for the Arts. The celebration will continue in The Dark Room from 4-6 p.m. with a Jazz Jam in honor of the legacy of Mix, jazz artist and mentor to the “young bloods” as he called them.
Those wishing to honor Darrell Mixon are asked to make a contribution to either or both the
HEAL Center for the Arts and 88.7 WSIE “The Sound.”
