Jazz
For Peace™ "Building Our Youth To Build Our
Community" 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."
