Rudess/Morgenstein Project is an album by Jordan Rudess and Rod Morgenstein. It came about after a power outage during a Dixie Dregs concert caused all of the Dregs' instruments to fail except Jordan's, so he and Rod improvised until power was restored and the concert could continue. The chemistry between them was so strong that they decided to make their own album and subsequent tour. An Official Bootleg is also available.

The album also features an uncredited performance by Kip Winger at the end of the track Masada.[http://www.yesiknow.net/rpm/reviews.htm Rudess/Morgenstein Project Reviews] Rudess/Morgenstein Project Official Site. Accessed 10 November 2008
