Listen

by Jordan Rudess

supported by

Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) Jordan Rudess has become a superstar since he replaced Derek Sherinian as the keyboardist of "Dream Theater". This album was released right before the rising fame started - when he had no goatee beard yet, and his hair was longer than his wife's. It earned him a "best new talent" award in 1994, and in turn, he became a member of Steve Morse's "Dixie Dregs". "Listen" really shows astonishing songwriting skills - undoubtedly proggy, but not stereotypical... and always with a good sense of melody. Favorite track: Across The Sky.

This album will go down in history for its radical departure from formula rock to real inspired creativity and extreme musicanship. - Producer, Liv Singh Khalsa

Rudess is not only a keyboard player, he is a virtuoso, both in the classical and rock worlds. - Record Producer, Tony Visconti (Moody Blues)
