The Spirit of Goodwill Band

Part of the South Beach Jazz Festival’s Jazz Hits the Road series, The Spirit of Goodwill Band embodies the festival’s mission of inclusion through the power of music. Composed of talented vocalists and musicians with physical, intellectual, and developmental disabilities, the band delivers uplifting performances that inspire audiences to see ability in every note. Founded in 1987 through Goodwill Industries, the group has spent decades breaking barriers, building confidence, and sharing their message of hope, talent, and perseverance through music.

The South Beach Jazz Festival is made possible with the support of the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade County Mayor and Board of County Commissioners. The South Beach Jazz Festival is also made possible with the support of the City of Miami Beach, the Cultural Affairs Program and the Cultural Arts Council. This project is sponsored in part by the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Arts and Culture and the Florida Council on Arts and Culture (Section 286.25, Florida Statutes).
