Join us September 18th at 6:30 PM for Swing in September! Presented by WFIU and the IU Jacobs School of Music Jazz Studies Department, this free outdoor concert series features a variety of musical acts from swing bands to jazz vocalists and more.
Tonight features John Raymond, one of the most defining jazz trumpet voices of his generation. With a singular voice as a genre-bending player and composer, Raymond is “steering jazz in the right direction” (DownBeat Magazine) by pushing its boundaries, seamlessly incorporating indie-rock, folk and electronic influences into his music. As Something Else reviews stated, “This is jazz, yes, but jazz with an open mind’.
The performances will be emceed by WFIU's own David Brent Johnson, host of Night Lights. We encourage guests to bring lawn chairs, blankets, or even a picnic!

Chuwi is a collection of family and friends from Isabela, Puerto Rico. (If you caught any of Bad Bunny’s historic residency, Chuwi was the backing band every night for “WELTiTA.”) They come from the western side of the island where bomba, plena and salsa are injected into people’s veins. The band harmoniously incorporates all of these influences into its sound, trading ocean blues and sunset pinks for playful jazz breaks and tasteful synthesizer effects. Chuwi’s members build a landscape of their home wherever they go, making it feel as though the something missing is and always will be irrefutably theirs.
A deep dive into a relatively frivolous facet of The Great American Songbook.
