WFIU Public Radio and the Department of Jazz Studies at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music will partner to co-host the Swing in September concert series.

Four free, family-friendly jazz concerts will be held every Friday in September at 6:30 p.m. in Dunn Meadow on the Indiana University campus. Attendees may bring a chair, blanket, or food to the concerts. In the event of rain, the concerts will be moved indoors to Recital Hall.

The concert series kicks off on Friday, September 3 at 6:30 p.m. with the Midcoast Swing Orchestra. Founded by Brent Wallarab and Mark Buselli in 1999, the Midcoast Swing Orchestra specializes in “authentic” swing music from the 1930s and ’40s. Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Jimmy Lunceford, Mary Lou Williams, and Erskine Hawkins make up the inspiration behind this dynamic 10-piece group. The Midcoast Swing Orchestra was a featured band every Tuesday night at Indianapolis’ Jazz Kitchen for 12 years and at Cincinnati’s Midwest Swing Festival. They performed for over 10,000 people at Conner Prairie and more than 6,000 students through their educational outreach program.
