About South Beach Jazz Festival
After being deaf, blind and paralyzed from the waist down due to a rare disease, David New founded a non-profit, the South Beach Jazz Festival. As a fundraiser for Power Access, the South Beach Jazz Festival is an event unlike any other. While the music forges bonds between listeners and performers, the sheer talent of the artists will promote the festival’s primary goal, enabling them to be defined by ability rather than disability. It will foster the access they need to participate fully in society as they help beautify and educate our community. In coming years, as a recognized institution, the South Beach Jazz Festival will expand throughout the city and strengthen Miami’s reputation for cultural innovation and inclusion.
