The real sound of silence in the soul. A silent mountain, a silent man in the middle of nature. The echoes of existence resonating inwards, and the expression of quietness outwards to infinity. Expansion of the mind, exaltation of the soul, hammering a thousand triggers of tingling notes in astonishing fluidness until the storm ceases; blossom the peace and the joy from its own drowning, be the spirit free.

I just met Jordan (by sheer chance) Saturday 1-26-13 at The Buca De Bepo Italian restaurant in Anaheim, California. I saw him on a You Tube video with Meytal Cohen doing a rendition of "Moves Like Jagger". He was having dinner with friends. I took a chance and politely interrupted him to compliment him on his brilliant rendition of that song. I had no idea that he was with Dream Theater and I had no idea the amazing talent and legend that he is. I feel very honored and humbled to have met him.

My favorite part about this song is how the melody is played in the middle of the keyboard, and most of the harmony is up high. Not to mention the fast runs all the way up the keyboard, and the sixteenth note quad-octaves near the end. He really is a musician's musician.

as much as I respect Jordan and love his work solo and in dream theater, I can't help to wonder if he understands the power of silence and simplicity. Sometime I feel that there is too much going on for me to be moved by the beautiful chord progression and too few themes that I will remember
@MossadAgent1008 жыл бұрын
Well, thats the choice every musician has to make. Most of the time, when a melody is catchy, it loses more and more of it's value the longer you listen to it, while having a complex melody allows you to find more and more things you can appreciate if you overcome the first barrier

Who cares who's better or not? Jordan just fucking rules. He's not only a very talented pianist, but a really good improvisor and composer in his style. Classical piano players often spend they're careers only playing notes written by others.
@mrronniepassion6 жыл бұрын
He is clean, articulate, fast, and plays with even time. I happened upon him when someone I know said he was voted "the best keyboard player of all time". However, I searched KZbin and haven't found anything with him really improvising or playing anything but scripted out music. Does he improvise at all? Isn't improvisation one of the most important things any musician can do, especially "the greatest of all time"? Also, does he know how to play with more complex voicings, progressions while on the fly, jazz, etc.? He sounds like many classical players I know who have great physical technique, but can only play what is written. To be called the greatest you should be more than a great technician or programmed player. Pre-written music is great, but when I attend a live performance I also want to experience improvised playing. It shows on the spot creativity, allows me to hear what the artist has going on in his/her head. Watching someone perform written out pieces all of the time is like putting on prerecorded music except you get to witness someone actually playing it. It makes the musician more of a machine, a sequenced human puppet. That's great if you want to hear a certain musical piece, but it's like hearing the same speech all of the time. Think about this. How would you like to have a conversation with a group of people, but some of them can only converse using the same sentences they've always used, never ever being able to utter a new sentence, phrase, or contribute an idea verbally? That would not be much of a conversation. An "all time greatest keyboard player" should also be able to not only improvise well, but be able to do it while playing more harmonically complex music than what I've heard on any of these videos. Again, I know virtually nothing about this person, but when you are labeled "the best keyboard player ever" shouldn't you be a complete musician? I checked his Dream Theater band mate, guitarist John Petrucci (another gifted technical player) on KZbin as well. I saw video of him trying to improvise during a performance of a simple blues progression with other noted musicians during a concert. It was a painful experience as he obviously was struggling to improvise. Keep in mind Petrucci is as gifted as any other guitar technician out there, but he could barely squeeze out anything when it was his turn to play. That was a said sight, especially after watching a few of his instructional videos and seeing he was a very nice guy. Please post any links of Jordan Rudess playing improvised material if anyone can find any. I do like his written material and enjoy his playing (and his obvious sense of humor). I would love to hear what he has to say on his keys while improvising.
