JORDAN RUDESS
back to the Main Artists Page A child prodigy on piano, Jordan’s musical journey predates his association with Magna Carta Records. And yet that label holds a special significance that ought to be noted at the outset of the release of Jordan Rudess Prime Cuts. As it turns out, in the eighties Jordan stood at the crossroads, faced with a choice between Dream Theater and another significant prog band. Push came to shove and, for various reasons, Rudess allied himself with the Dregs. In that forum, and in subsequent ones, Rudess honed his distinctive sound and approach, culling commendations from the musical press. It wasn’t until the late nineties that Rudess answered the call for a special project under the aegis of Magna Carta: The Liquid Tension Experiment. It was his stirring performance with this lineup that commended Rudess as next keyboardist for Dream Theater, a role Jordan enjoys to this day. Many albums have ensued, not to mention many a road jaunt to all points North American, European, and Asian. Dream Theater aside, Jordan’s solo output has been prolific and of substance, while his side projects have always captured the interest of a wide range of fans, many of whom follow his every move in the intertwined worlds of composition and keyboard technology, a topic on which Rudess is particularly conversant. |
