consisting of: 'Israeli, Middle Eastern, European, Asian & American' Jazz
musicians in a concert inside the United Nations, for an international
audience.Rick named this band:
"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.

Recent 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. "
