The most recent installment of “Overlooked” focused on freely flowing relentless and ecstatic music that featured nine long tracks, many between 10 and 20 minutes long. This live broadcast from Overlook Mountain is the antidote; it features nearly 30 short tracks, many less than three minutes long. And, rather than delirious jamming, host Rob Saffer has selected music that’s knotty, prickly and spiky - a broad spectrum of newly released sonic treats: domestic and international, psychedelic and sweet, punk and contemporary classical, some looking back, most looking forward.

After the local news at noon, “Overlooked” is a show focusing on overlooked and under-heard jazz, improvisational, and other fringe music, from early roots to contemporary experiments, a mix of familiar to rare, classic to weird. It is broadcast live Live from the slopes of Overlook Mountain in Ulster County.

While living in Brooklyn for 25 years, he served on advisory boards for Celebrate Brooklyn and Symphony Space.
