4NYC by Jordan Rudess

4NYC is an album by Jordan Rudess which was recorded live September 24, 2001 and released September 10, 2002. The album came about as part of Rudess's reaction to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. In an effort to raise money for the American Red Cross and to help ease the pain associated with the great loss he and the people of New York felt, he and his wife organized a benefit concert. The tracks comprise performances from that concert and improvisations done in Rudess's studio the following week.
