JORDAN RUDESS – Permission To Fly (2024) *HQ*

Talented Dream Theater keyboardist JORDAN RUDESS will release his brand new solo album ”Permission To Fly” on the 6th September 2024 via InsideOutMusic. Known for leading the charge in pushing creative, sonic, and technological boundaries, his latest endeavour epitomizes this ethos, delving into the complexities of human existence within our multifaceted world.
While some previous releases were true solo pursuits, this time, Rudess assembled a core group of musicians to support and elevate his vision. And you can tell “Permission To Fly” sounds & feels like a real band.
The album features Jordan alongside excellent That Joe Payne (The Enid) on five-octave range vocals, Darby Todd (Devin Townsend) on drums, Steve Dadaian on guitar, as well as guest guitar solos from Bastian Martinez.
”Permission To Fly” isn’t a showcase for Jordan’s ivory skill, but for strong songwriting – song format tracks ranging from progressive metal to impressive atmospheres. Each song is a standalone journey, but collectively, the album unveils a musical odyssey through terrific melodies & clever arrangements.
