Keyboard Wizard Jordan Rudess talks about his new solo album “Permission to Fly”, influences, “that set-list job” and more

For this new installment of our (very) irregular Q&A series, we called Dream Theater keyboard wizard Jordan Rudess to talk about his brand new solo album, “Permission to Fly”. The maestro opened up about his influences from both the classical and progressive rock realms, how he chose his co-collaborators That Joe Payne, Darby Todd, Steve Dadaian and Bastian Martinez for “Permission to Fly”, why a certain guy called Mike Portnoy is the perfect choice for “that set-list job” and more.

About the Author

Dario

Co-Founder of The Progspace - Dario discovered the world of Prog upon hearing "Shine on you crazy diamond" for the first time at the tender age of 12 around the turn of the millennium. Coming from a musical family and brought up with classical music, this seemed to be the logical next step. Attended the school of www.progulus.com from 2002, delving into both directions: catching up with the history of already more than 30 years of progressive music as well as always staying up to date with the newest prog sounds. He loves meeting like-minded people and enjoying live music at a concert somewhere in Europe.
