Heroes of the World
Dedicated to all the incredible staff of the NHS & Social care, Volunteers and Medical professionals all over the World.

Ritz Music Studio has teamed up with Grammy award winning songwriters Terry Britten and Graham Lyle who wrote for artists such as Tina Turner, Michael Jackson and Lenny Kravitz to present ‘Make A Difference’ a song and campaign dedicated to the NHS Staff and Volunteers caring for those affected by Covid-19. All donations raised from the release of the campaign will go directly to the NHS and runs alongside our music memorabilia auction, Rock and Ribbon which raises funds for ‘NHS Charities Together’ though bids on our iconic items.
THE ROCK & RIBBON AUCTION goes live 01 May 20. Sign up at https://rockandribbon.com to be notified of the iconic music memorabilia that will be available to bid on with 100% of the funds raised going to the NHS.

Founded by model and designer Elle Liberachi, The Rock and Ribbon Auction began with a collaboration for Breast Cancer Awareness with Queen guitarist Brian May and saw the auctioning of his ‘Red Special’ guitar raise over £8,000 for the ‘Breast Cancer Campaign’ Charity.
Now, more than ever we feel it is important that we come together and support the NHS and the ‘Make A Difference’ Campaign is our way to show our gratitude and support for the amazing work the NHS and health care providers all over the World do for us.

We are immensely proud and in awe of NHS staff and volunteers as they work tirelessly to save lives and care for COVID-19 patients. Separated from their families and away from their homes, these incredible people work day and night to treat as many people as possible in need of care.

Together and with memorabilia from the Music Industries most revered Artists & Songwriters, we give our respect, gratitude & support to the people on the frontline of the NHS via our fundraising auction, Rock & Ribbon.

Together we can make a difference.

Live Performance by STEVE CUIFFO as LENNY BRUCE

at Greenwich House Music School – 46 Barrow Street, NYC

Showtime: 8:00pm

Tickets: $20

Join us as we celebrate the would-be 50th anniversary of Café au Go Go, with original footage of artists performing at the Café in ‘Seven Years Underground: A 60s Tale’ directed by Jason Solomon, son of the original Café owners, Howard and Elly Solomon. A panel discussion will follow about the origination and history of the Café as music venue with David Amram, Terri Thal, Matt Umanov and moderator Ashley Kahn. Following a brief intermission,Steve Cuiffo performs Café alum Lenny Bruce’s material verbatim and in character.David Amram, the “Renaissance Man of American Music” (Boston Globe), was a frequent performer and friend of Café au Go Go since its opening 50 years ago. As a multi-instrumental musician versed in over 35 instruments, he introduced the French horn to jazz (along with Julius Watkins) more than sixty years ago while playing with many of the 1950`s jazz legends, such as Dizzy Gillespie, Charles Mingus, Lionel Hampton and Oscar Pettiford. Some of his other musical collaborators include Bob Dylan, Tito Puente, Pete Seeger, Willie Nelson, Jack Kerouac, Odetta, Leonard Bernstein, Richie Havens, Arthur Miller, Langston Hughes, Joe Papp, Elia Kazan, Antonio Carolos Jobim, Patti Smith, Paddy Chayefsky, Steve Martin, Archibald MacLeish, John McEuen and Johnny Depp. Amram has conducted 75 of the world’s great orchestras, and composed more than 100 orchestral and chamber music works, two operas, 23 Broadway scores, and 21 film scores, including the classic films Splendor in the Grass, The Manchurian Candidate, and Pull My Daisy. He is also a progenitor of international indigenous folk music to America over the past half century and has been referred to as the “Father of World Music.” Amram has authored three books, and has written the forewords to new biographies of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger. Andrew Zuckerman’s book and feature film documentary Wisdom: The Greatest Gift One Generation Can Give to Another, features Mr. Amram as one of the World’s 50 Elder Thinkers and Doers. The symphonic live recording of Amram’s composition THIS LAND: Symphonic Variations on a Song by Woody Guthrie, as conducted by David Amram with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra will be released in April 2014, along with the DVD release of Lawrence Kraman’s feature length documentary film, DAVID AMRAM: The First 80 Years.

Ashley Kahn is an author, educator, music journalist, and concert producer. A professor of music history and criticism at New York University who lectures at other institutions as well, his books include A Love Supreme: The Story of John Coltrane’s Signature Album, and Kind of Blue: The Making of the Miles Davis Masterpiece. Kahn’s writing has generated two Grammy nominations, three ASCAP/Deems Taylor Awards, and two Book of the Year distinctions from the Jazz Journalists Association.

Terri Thal was well known in the vibrant Greenwich Village art scene of the 1960s. During that time, she was married to (and managed) Village folk legend Dave Van Ronk, who is the inspiration behind Joel and Ethan Coen’s movie Inside Llewyn Davis. She also managed other folksingers, including Bob Dylan (for a year), the Holy Modal Rounders, Maggie and Terre Roche and Paul Geremia. A recent article Thal wrote on Inside Llewyn Davis generated intense discussion in the music and film worlds about whether the movie accurately reflected the folk music scene of the 60s.

Matt Umanov is the founder of Matt Umanov Guitars on Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village. Since 1965, his store has been a must-visit for any guitarist passing through New York City who can explore his eclectic collection of guitars, amps, pedals, and other accessories. Over the years, Umanov has become equally well known for his deep knowledge of the guitar and the history behind the instrument.

Celebrated performer Steve Cuiffo has immersed himself in the work of Lenny Bruce, delivering sublime, hyper-real, verbatim resurrections of the great American thinker’s monologues. Fifty years after his death, Bruce’s often prophetic, freedom-loving skewering of American culture is as dazzling, hilarious and insightful as ever.

Cantor Estherleon Schwartz and Lenny Rosenberg, of Lenny’s Deli in Westwood, LA share their Good News

Mission of Cantor Estherleon Schwartz

I am very grateful to have the honor of fulfilling my father’s prophesy in 1944 at the Swiss border when the Nazis were chasing us. I was 4 years old and when he threw me over the barbed wire fence he said, “Save my daughter and she will serve you forever.” It has been a painful, tiring yet inspirational journey in reaching my goal to have a deeper understanding of myself, my purpose in life, in relationship to the world around me. One thing I always hung on to were my father’s words of serving, so I “hung out” with God, asked for guidance, tried to have patience and faith which gave me hope and wisdom to understand that everything is in divine time. You are my voice of hope on earth to ensure that no human being goes to bed hungry, has a warm bed to sleep in, medicine, education, a fruitful and meaningful life, and a way to peace – in a peaceful way. Together, and with God’s blessings…everything is possible.
