In this powerful episode of W A R We Are All Recovering, Stryker sits down with internationally recognized jazz pianist and peace activist Rick DellaRatta, founder of Jazz for Peace. Rick shares how music became a response to trauma after 9 11, how Jazz for Peace grew from New York City to global stages including the United Nations, and why the world invests fully in war while peace receives almost nothing. This conversation dives deep into trauma, recovery, moral responsibility, and the role music plays in healing individuals and communities. Throughout the episode, Rick performs live jazz in the background, improvising in real time as the conversation unfolds, turning the episode itself into a living expression of peace.
