The idea behind Jazz for CF stems from Francis Bassett-Dilley‘s—a musician and Cystic Fibrosis patient personal connection to the cause, using music to uplift others just as it has supported him in his journey with CF.Our mission is to create a global community for CF patients while raising funds and awareness for both their physical and mental well-being. A portion of the proceeds will help support the CFF on their journey to a cure.
Our journey begins with Baba Stafford—an accomplished artist, educator, activist, and scholar of African-rooted dance, theater, and aesthetics.
From there, we’ll transition to Blue Aura, a group led by Francis Bassett-Dilley, featuring Greg Ward II (saxophone), Sam Butler (Trumpet), Dan Ventura (Piano) & Brendan Keller-Tuberg (Bass). Blue Aura will be performing compositions featuring original music that takes the audience through Francis’s personal experience
of living with Cystic Fibrosis and the way that music has shaped his journey.
Next, we’ll enjoy a local treasure—Visions Jazz Ensemble, led by IU Jazz graduates Garrett Fasig & Sam Butler—who will bring us back to Bloomington roots with a fresh and exciting take on classic college fight songs.
To close the night, we’ll hit the dance floor with the IU Latin Jazz Ensemble, letting their infectious rhythms bring the evening to a powerful and joyful finale.
Join us for a night of music, movement, and meaning, where we celebrate connection through jazz and dance while making a difference.
We look forward to meeting each and every one of you—in person or via livestream through CATS Community Access Television Services.
Together, we can make a difference!
