OMNIBUS represents various aspects of Schachter's music-making: An approach to composing that is simpler, leaner and more elemental (“Transparent”, “Westward”); A continued interest in unusual rhythmic meters (“Bluesharp”, “Inner Urge”); An emphasis on solid grooves (“Think of One”, “Giant Steps”); The importance of extended improvisation for exploration and discovery (“Einstein Daydreamt”, “She Wept”).

OMNIBUS and the rest of Ben's recordings are available at CDbaby.com, iTunes, bestbuy.com, and all better-known retail stores and download sites.
