* In March 2007 jazz pianist, vocalist and composer Rick DellaRatta was recognized by The Foundation Center as one of the top musician philanthropists of our time along with Bono (U2), Elton John, Peter Gabriel and Sting. 

 * Rick DellaRatta and Jazz for Peace performed at the United Nations in New York on September 25, 2002. He led a band consisting of Israeli, Palestinian and American musicians in concert for an international audience in what is now considered “One of the most significant cultural events of our time!”  

 *  This U.N. Concert has led to a benefit concert series that has gone on to raise funds, publicity and awareness for over 500 non-profit organizations, garnered support and praise from distinguished Americans and attended and enjoyed by ambassadors, celebrities, humanitarians, and music lover’s worldwide! 

Throughout the year in 2008 Jazz for Peace will be celebrating the 5th Anniversary of this historic event!
