	DreamTheater.com Fanclub - Jordan Rudess
		An Evening with John Petrucci and Jordan Rudess: This 2000 performance at the Helen Hayes Performing Arts Center in Nyack, New York by John Petrucci and Jordan Rudess was truly special as most of the compositions were written in a relatively short period.
		Rudess was recognized by his 2nd grade teacher for his piano playing and was immediately given professional tuition.
		Rudess chose the Dregs, primarily as being a part time member of the band would have less of an impact on his young family, a choice he was not given with Dream Theater.

	Peavey - Artists: Jordan Rudess
		Jordan Rudess, keyboardist for Dream Theater, talks about entering Julliard at age 9 with an almost casual manner, as if average third-graders spend afternoons practicing Bach concertos.
		Rudess, whose resume boasts David Bowie, Liquid Tension Experiment and several solo albums stretching back to 1988, has reached yet another career plateau: touring alongside rock hereos-turned-contemporaries QueensrÃ¿che.
		Accompanying Rudess is the new Peavey multi-channel KB5 keyboard amplifier.

		From there, Jordan’s ascendancy to progressive rock keyboard stardom would continue when in 1998 he connected with John Petrucci and Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater, and bassist Tony Levin in “Liquid Tension Experiment.” This collaboration would also convince Portnoy and Petrucci that Jordan simply had to join Dream Theater.
		Jordan you are my bigest influence you are one of the best keyboarder for me.....
		Hola Jordan, muchas gracias por aceptarme como tu amigo, admiro mucho lo que haces con la música, y he aprendido bastante de los video-conciertos en los que te he visto.

	MusicPlayers.com: Features > Keyboards > A Conversation with Dream Theater’s Jordan Rudess
		Jordan: The tone was very much in that kind of thing, a pure kind of waveform with a little bit of portamento.
		Jordan: No. The closest thing I’ll ever do to that is play the usual “oohs” and “ahhs” that come from a keyboard as part of my pad.
		Jordan: We’re not going to do that because basically we’re in a position where we create the kind of music that we want whether it be like Train of Thought just because we want to create a classic metal style album, but we’re not in a position to try to go completely commercial now.

	Jordan Rudess Interview (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Jordan: Well Dream Theater has been going to Japan for quite a number of years now and ever since the beginning we kind of set a goal to one day eventually play at Budokan which is this wonderful famous arena, it’s a really, really cool place, probably the most known rock venue in Japan.
		Jordan: Yeah totally and when we found out that we were going to play there, our career had finally reached a point where we could play there it was pretty clear that we should make it a really special event and capture it.
		Jordan: Well what happened was my wife and I were interested in doing a benefit for The Helen Hayes Theater in Nyack NY and I was thinking who I wanted to do this with and I spoke to John about it and that’s how it materialized.

	John Petrucci & Jordan Rudess An Evening With John Petrucci & Jordan Rudess Review By Keith "MuzikMan" Hannaleck
		Petrucci and Rudess are two excellent musicians and they show how a lifetime of hard work and perfecting their craft can become a thing of beauty and incredible improvisation.
		Rudess brings forth his classical influences while Petrucci shows flare and style with an acoustic guitar similar to his predecessors Di Meola and McLaughlin.
		Rudess plays the piano in a way that few ever have, hence he is now one of the most sought after session men in the world.

	Get Ready to ROCK! Review of CD album by former Dream Theater keyboard player Jordan Rudess called Rhythm Of Time
		Jordan had quite a limited amount of time to spend for the recordings of his solo album, and it was a blessing that he once again worked alongside his good friend Rod Morgenstein (drums).
		I had the opportunity to congratulate Jordan in person for this brilliant album, which of course I totally recommend to all of you.
		Jordan Rudess is not just a member of Dream Theater — he is a gifted musician that will always try to express himself in many ways.

	Jordan Rudess - Prime Cuts (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Jordan Rudess is best known for his work with Dream Theater and participation with the Liquid Tension Experiment.
		Jordan proves in all of his work, but especially in the highlighted tracks of his Prime Cuts release that he does a lot more than just provide the filler for the projects he plays with.
		Jordan’s playing comes to life in these non-Dream Theater tracks and there are very few who would be disappointed when it comes the virtuosity displayed in these ten.

		My initial experience hearing Jordan play was about five years back, at a concert in Torrington, CT at which he sessioned, taking a "star turn" on grand piano and his trustworthy Kurzweil synth and figuratively knocking my socks off with his improvisations and technical wizardry.
		The album is Jordan's personal tribute to 9/11, (largely) performed at the Helen Hayes Theater in Nyack, NY on September 24, 2001, but with some studio additions after the fact.
		Rudess is one of today's improvisational wizards, and this album is an outstanding example of his work.

	Releases Jordan Rudess Prime Cuts
		Taken from Jordan’s album Steinway to Heaven, it is not so much revolutionary intrinsically but in its contrast to the surrounding material.
		It is not the use of diverse keyboard timbres and patches that defines Jordan Rudess’ modus but, rather, the concealing of them or, at least, the melding of them to good effect.
		In a surprise move, Rudess takes to the lower register of his instrument and Portnoy to his unison floor toms, establishing an almost tribal vibe (shades of Edgar Winter’s “Peace Pipe”!).

	Features : Artists : Jordan Rudess
		When Jordan's teacher informed his mother how much the class enjoyed having him play piano, Jordan's mom was flabbergasted, informing the teacher she was unaware Jordan even knew how to play the piano.
		Jordan's parents immediately purchased a piano for the young maestro and 12-years of intense piano lessons commenced.
		In his teens, a friend introduced Jordan to a Moog synthesizer and that's when, as Jordan puts it, "The disease set in," and he was infected by the Rock and Roll bug, instantly gravitating to bands such as ELP and YES and their gifted keyboardists, Keith Emerson and Rick Wakeman, respectively.

	Jordan Rudess - Feeding The Wheel reviewed by The House of Shred
		The quick and the blunt: Jordan Rudess having thrilling auditory sex with his Kurzweil for 63 minutes.
		A lot of stuffy types tout Jordan's best strengths being of or pertaining to classical piano (and there are a slew of great piano moments herein), but this site isn't called the House of Mozart, and you're probably at least equally interested in the "balls and chunk" aspect.
		Jordan doesn't kowtow to that kind of baseness, ever.

		The solo release from the rock keyboard wizard Jordan Rudess is not just another prog-rock instrumental album.
		Jordan has unveiled his enormous talent and musicianship by joining the king of prog-rock/metal band Dream Theater in 1999 but even before that he showed his keyboard wizardry by releasing a few albums and collaborated with some major artists.
		This album will not only amaze you with Jordan's playing and the guests, but it may teach you a thing or two about music, including all you musicians.

	JORDAN RUDESS: 4NYC
		Listening back to the recordings Jordan felt the improvisations sounded the best yet there was not sufficient material to fill a complete album so he recorded some extra instrumentals in his studio the week after.
		Jordan then leaves this path in search of a more rhythmic pattern which he finds and explores during ‘Speed as light’ almost adding a salsa feel to his slightly avantgarde pianoplaying before ending with some slow chords.
		Jordan Rudess and Magna Carta will both donate a portion of the proceeds of this album to charitable organizations in memory of the lives lost on september 11

	Evolving Artist - Jordan Rudess - Rhythm of Time
		Although Rudess continues to reach back to his classical roots on a regular basis to propel his musical formulas, he rocks hard and manages to infuse influences such as jazz into his vast repertoire.
		Rudess has a friend that he depends on to make such intriguing music-his equipment and the technology that drives it.
		Rudess also offers a few surprises on this CD; he actually sings lead vocals on two songs, “Tear Before The Rain” and “Beyond Tomorrow,” which are offered as bonus MP3 versions.

	Dream Theater's Jordan Rudess
		Jordan: Billy played on “Crack The Meter.” I basically laid a chart out for him because he was not going to have that much time to get wild with it.
		Jordan: I think it is important for Dream Theater to continue on that path and to continue doing things that are fresh and new.
		Jordan: I have an online conservatory that is a technique I figured out where I can be working with people and teaching people wherever they are in the world.

	Guitar Nine Records - John Petrucci/Jordan Rudess "An Evening With John Petrucci & Jordan Rudess"
		One night in autumn of 2000, guitar master John Petrucci and keyboard wonder Jordan Rudess -- both of prog rock heroes Dream Theater -- performed as a duo for the first time at the intimate Helen Hayes Theatre Company.
		What resulted was a display of unparalleled musicianship and spontaneity so spectacular, when Steve Vai recently heard the album for the first time, he knew within seconds he wanted his Favored Nations label to properly release it.
		Fusing top-notch genre-hopping performances with fine finesse, and a little magic, "An Evening with John Petrucci & Jordan Rudess" is one of the most adventurous instrumental albums to date.
