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!

About our Amazing Guest: After spending years as a Service Learning educator, and as a former rock n’ roll disc jockey, Scott Lewis noticed a pretty cool trend. While most people knew rock legends for their music, few knew them for their generosity. That’s why Scott started *Amp Up The Good* – a podcast where he sits down with music icons like Sammy Hagar and Chuck Leavell to talk about their philanthropic work, personal missions, and the impact they make beyond the stage. Each episode explores how musicians use their influence for meaningful change. From building charities to funding music education, these are the untold stories of rock and philanthropy and the inspiration for this special performance by Rick of the Allman Brothers classic Come and Go Blues! Listen to Scott at AmpUpTheGood.com or on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.
