Jazz for Peace™ rose from the ashes of the horrifying tragedy of 9/11 starting with a poem written by acclaimed Jazz Pianist, Vocalist, Composer and Founder Rick DellaRatta while witnessing those very events on a rooftop less than a quarter of a mile away from Ground Zero on that fateful morning. His extraordinary Journey to live up to the words of that poem starting with a historic concert at the United Nations that brought together Israeli, Palestinian, and American musicians for the very first time was followed by over 850 “Jazz for Peace feat. Rick DellaRatta” Events benefiting our most outstanding causes Worldwide has since led to this amazing 25th year anniversary celebration with one goal in mind ~ to bring funding for world peace from 0% to 1% by the end of this worldwide celebration and from there to 100% where it needs to be!
