Heat Index

A horn driven, contemporary jazz-fusion group for your next event.

About

Heat Index

Heat Index is a horn driven, contemporary jazz-fusion group that offers a funky R&B showcase when the performance requires it.  The band combines fresh original music with extraordinary fusion remakes, resulting in their wide audience appeal.  As Wayne Henderson, the funky trombone playing leader of the Jazz Crusaders once said, “Just because it’s jazz, don’t mean you can’t dance”. Our music reflects that statement.

If you’re a club owner looking for a band that plays the kind of music that people will not only listen to but sway to, that’s Heat Index.  If you’re a club owner looking for a band that plays more of that old school R&B, that gets people moving, that’s Heat Index.   If you’re a person planning an event or a wedding and want a group that can make it memorable, that’s Heat Index. We’re volume sensitive, understand the need to meet specific performance guidelines, and tailor the instrumentation to your liking.
