Has released a total of 12 solo albums with the 13 th on the way. He is also very talented at the guitar.

Jordan has written several solo albums, is a major collaborator in the music writing process of Dream Theater, and has written one classical symphony mixing classical elements with progressive rock. Example: "Explorations for Keyboard and Orchestra”

Due to his fascination with technology, Jordan created an “app” for the iPad called Morphwiz, a portable synthesizer based off of one of his fingerboards, the Haaken Continuum. Through that app a business has emerged called Wizdom Music. He uses Morphwiz in his music.

Classically trained (favorite composers are: Chopin, Bach, Debussy, and Brahms) Influences of famous progressive rock bands (Yes, Genesis, etc.) Long, complex solos Complex time signatures Also is influenced by jazz (improvisation and ragtime bits).

1999-Present Heavily involved with song writing. 7 studio albums and 5 live albums With Dream Theater his love for technology has evolved. Examples: Octavarium (beginning) On the Backs of Angels (5:49) (Also, watch the end of the video. Is it Salt Lake?)

Where Jordan got his foot in the door with progressive metal. Heavy distortion of instruments Darker musical themes All musicians wrote the songs. All songs are instrumental. Just for fun, in a concert, they did a cover of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue
