Being that Jazz for Peace™ was inspired by the words of a Poem written by Rick DellaRatta from a rooftop less than 1/4 mile away from the World Trade Center Towers on the fateful day of 9/11, you can surely imagine how delighted we are to feature the emerging Washington D.C. based Poet Jeffrey Charles Fleming along with his  extraordinary new book titled  “My First 17”. Enjoy this exciting interview which also inspired the musical medley by Rick of “Cheeks (for Dizzy Gillespie), Free J.A.(for Julian Assange), and the Wizard of Oz Classic “If I Only Had A Brain”.
