A specially-priced two-CD collection, all previously unreleased
material from the first ten years of the entertaining and innovative
ten-piece jazz ensemble Either/Orchestra.

Containing 22 tracks and 145 minutes of music, this is top quality
material which simply did not fit on the highly prolific E/O's five albums
to date. The sessions which produced all those albums are represented
here, ranging from the group's first studio session in 1986, to their most
recent, in September 1995. Also included are two smoking live tracks, Born
in a Suitcase featuring John Medeski at the nine-foot concert grand, and
She's So Heavy.

Fabulous performances by ten years of band members including Matt
Wilson, Charlie Kohlhase, Michael Rivard, Russ Gershon, John Dirac, John
Carlson, Tom Halter, Douglas Yates, Curtis Hasselbring, Bob Nieske, etc.

The 28 page booklet contains over a dozen pictures and reams of
information, including two sets of liner notes, by Neil Tesser (from
Chicago) and David Prince (from Santa Fe), program notes from bandleader
Russ Gershon, and a list of every place the group has ever played!

Across the Omniverse is a great introduction to the E/O, containing
many fan favorites which have never been avalable on CD, and is the next in
the series for fans who have earlier albums.
