Rudess is a masterful keyboardist; nevertheless, Derek Sherinian is the best keyboardist alive. I have collected most of his solo CD's, including his projects with PlantetX. The CD entitled, Oceana is awesome. Derek's choice of guitarist to work with on this project was spot-on. Macalpine, Stevens,Lukather,Aldrich, and Phillips laid down some nice tracks. It's too bad that Wylde wasn't on this 1.
Musicianship of highest order....everyone should own this CD! Thanks for sharing. 'Euphoria' is also fantastic featuring Mr Lukather on lead - fantastic playing with great feeling.
