Get ready to feel the heat! Heat Latin Jazz Band returns with two sizzling performances packed with the vibrant sounds of salsa and Afro-Cuban jazz. This high-energy 6-piece ensemble has been a Fort Myers favorite for nearly a decade, known for delivering authentic Latin grooves, soaring horns, and irresistible percussion that keep audiences moving all night long.
Founded by local music educator Keith Doxie and led by trumpeter Diego Azcuy, the band blends technical skill with pure joy, creating a performance that’s as exciting to watch as it is to dance to.
Whether you’re an experienced salsa dancer or just ready to sway to the beat, this is a night where the dance floor calls your name – dancing is encouraged!
HEAT Latin Jazz Band comprises musicians from different walks of life and training, with bandleader / trumpeter Diego Azcuy (professional pilot / civil engineer); assistant bandleader / drummer, percussionist Miguel Azcuy (registered nurse); and co-founder/keyboardist Juan Enrique Diaz (professional welder). The rest of the band includes musicians from FGCU, each equally active in the SWFL music scene.
Founded on an idea from Keith Doxie, music instructor at Lexington Middle School, the band has grown to provide Southwest Florida with a unique presentation of Afro-Cuban music, played by musicians from diverse backgrounds of training. The band’s concept has been to play music that is not ubiquitous to the music scene of SWFL, but also to bring up-and-coming musicians into the fold by playing music that is as technically challenging as it is fun to play.
