"Jazz For
Peace™" Jazz for Peace's mission is to help advance people to their
highest potential through the understanding of Jazz as well as spreading peace
through our "Jazz For Peace™ Concerts" worldwide - joining forces (or
performing) with multi-cultural musicians to spread peace through the art form
of Jazz and entering regions that are politically controversial. By the means of
live concerts, video taping, on hands/on-line teaching as well as supplying
musical instruments to underprivileged children in under developed areas
worldwide, Jazz for Peace will re-enforce what past history has proven - that
the art form of Jazz has the ability to create a positive effect that unites
people and may eventually start to transform the barriers and issues of
different cultures and beliefs.

Quotes:
"Rick DellaRatta is one of the finest Jazz pianists alive."
--Savannah Times
"It is actually the quality of DellaRatta's voice that
grows on me more & more with repeated listenings. At first I felt that
Rick's strengths as a pianist were foremost, but with time I have come to
understand that Dellaratta's skill as a vocalist is not to be underestimated.
"His voice has quite a haunting quality to it, being slightly androgenous in
tone, sometimes ghostly.... sometimes sexy. "
--Jen Karpin, Green Mtn Jazz Messenger
".....sure it will be a good
show."
