Alfred Music Publishing is excited to announce the release of The Dream Theater Keyboard Experience featuring Jordan Rudess— an ultimate voyage into the unique perspectives and playing styles of progressive heavy rocker Jordan Rudess.

The Dream Theater Keyboard Experience featuring Jordan Rudess (http://www.alfred.com/alfredweb/front/ProductDetail.aspx?itemnum=%20%20%20%20%2032032&pubnum=0) is not just a songbook, but a total experience! Keyboard wizard Jordan Rudess takes you on a journey deep inside the music, with nearly 200 pages of note-for-note transcriptions of nine keyboard-intense Dream Theater songs from 1992-2007, plus amazing full-color concert and behind-the-'boards photos, and a personal Q&A conversation with Jordan Rudess in which he reveals details of his playing style and the experience of jamming and writing with rock virtuoso bandmates Dream Theater. As a valuable bonus for keyboardists, Rudess took the extraordinary step of composing special "exercise" pieces to precede each song, each focusing on a challenging playing technique unique to the corresponding Dream Theater songs that follows. A must-own collectible for all fans!
