What happens when one rooftop poem leads to a global peace movement?
In this episode of Living on the B Side, I’m joined by jazz pianist and activist Rick DellaRatta to explore the powerful story behind Jazz for Peace—a musical initiative sparked by the events of 9/11.
We talk about:
• Using music mindfully to process pain and inspire purpose
• The journey from grief to global action
• Why helping those who help others can change everything
• A concert that brought Israelis, Palestinians, and Americans together on stage
This is a story about creativity, resilience, and the ripple effect one person can have when they lead with intention.
Hosted by Birgit of Living on the B Side.
