Legendary jazz saxophonist David Sanborn will headline the fourth annual South Beach Jazz Festival, the only jazz festival with the mission to raise public awareness of people with disabilities.
The three-day event will present 10 free, and two ticketed, performances in seven locations throughout Miami Beach, Jan. 3-5, 2020.
You can hear some of Miami’s top performing artists including: Sammy Figueroa, Jonathan Joseph, Kiki Sanchez, Alfredo Chacon, Magela Herrera, William Cepeda, Yainer Horta, Nicole Yarling, Ruben Caban, Fanny Sarkozy, Ashley Pezzotti, and The Reuben Hoch Chassidic Jazz Project.
The lineup of musicians keeps to the goal that each performance showcases the artistry of at least one person with a disability, “enabling them to be defined by ability rather than disability.”
“We not only present great jazz with some of the most popular artists performing today, we have a greater purpose,” said David New, founder and president of Power Access, Inc.
“As one who experiences this first hand, I am filled with gratitude to the great artists who join in performing, the support of the City of Miami Beach, and the people who attend each year.”
