"Here at last is the future of progressive rock. Rudess is a genuine keyboard hero. His long, antiseptically clean, almost unbelievably fast lines recall Wakeman, though the songs on Listen hit harder than most of the Yes Classics." - Listen review in Keyboard Magazine

Voted Best New Talent after his release of Listen in the 1994 Keyboard Magazine Readers Poll Keyboardist category, Jordan is the newest member of the group Dream Theater. Jordan has played with guitarist Steve Morse and the legendary Dixie Dregs. He has recorded and toured with guitarist Vinnie Moore, written songs for- and recorded with singer Annie Haslam (Renaissance) and has recorded tracks with David Bowie. He has also toured internationally with fellow keyboardist, Jan Hammer and legendary drummer Tony Williams and regularly performs and records with Grammy award winners the Paul Winter Consort. His scoring can be heard with International Magician of the Year winner, Jeff McBride.

Jordan Rudess' music is like a wild ever-changing river. Its quick, masterful turns and subtle intensity created the most challenging and immense project a producer could imagine. 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)

5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Great inspirational music from a true keyboard wizard!
Reviewer: cmartirano

The first time I heard Listen, I was immediately drawn into the music. The artistic blend of beautiful melodies, rich harmony, progressive rock overtones, keyboard virtuosity and above all great compositions really blew me away. It is now part of my regular listening (no pun intended) library and continues to inspire me. Since I've turned many of my friends on the CD, they have become huge Jordan Rudess fans. Jordan Speaks from the heart through his fingers and delivers a new brand of fusion. If you like talents such as Keith Emerson, Rick Wakeman, Patrick Moraz, Jan Hammer and other keyboard giants, and love great composition blending prog rock, classical, and electronica, you have to buy this CD. You will Listen again and again and become a new Jordan Rudess addict. Check out his other monster offerings; you won't be disappointed!

Reviewer: Theron Nolan

Any work produced by Jordan Rudess won't lack technical brilliance. Fans of this other work won't be disappointed here. However, lyrically, vocally and conceptually, Listen falls short of the mark. Self-conscuosly positive throughout, Rudess's lyrics border on the mawkish, and his vocals leave a great deal to be desired, particularly in contrast with the vocalist Barbara Bock and his own virtuoso keyboards. Several tracks do push beyond these faults; particularly "It's a Mystery" and "Feel the Magic". Dream Theater fans may revel in the album's only instrumental, "Boogie Wacky Boogie", which highlights the offbeat sensibility Rudess has bought to the band's performances since his addition in 1999. The album is well worthwhile to keyboard aficionados of fans of Rudess's other work, but isn't really recommended to anyone without any particular attachment to the artist.
