Having performed with everyone from Dizzy Gillespie to Paquito D' Rivera, Rick DellaRatta is now considered by many to be one of the finest Singer/Pianists  performing today and one of only a handful of Jazz Artists who can make a  successful musical presentation to a large audience without having to  abandon the true art form of Jazz. His  unique and original piano playing and composing has been compared in  print to Chick Corea, Bill Evans, McCoy Tyner and Thelonius Monk while  his signature vocal sound and style has been likened to Chet Baker,  Billie Holiday, Michael Franks and Antonio Carlos Jobim. Recently, Rick DellaRatta was included in the Book “Jazz Singers” as one of the top Jazz Vocalists of all time and by The Foundation Center in their list of the top musician philanthropists of our time along with Bono (U2), Elton John, Peter Gabriel and Sting.
