One of Mobberley's principal students has been Dr. Michael McFerron, whose 2006 "Torrid Mix" closed out the first half of the program. A duet for piano and a preprogrammed CD, it was another vehicle for Robert Pherigo's solid, solid playing.

Driving, propulsive, aptly named and well received, its long middle section calls to mind Martin Denny's music only faster, louder, with a much denser and more interesting sonic matrix, and not 60 years out of date.

The highlight of the concert was probably Torrid Mix: Featuring DJ Jazzy King and Master L.T. for piano and tape by host Mike McFerron, featuring pianist Irina Feoktistova.
