En route to Knoxville, TN for the Big Ears Festival, in this pre-recorded program “Overlooked” host Rob Saffer will continue to share overlooked and under-heard new music of all sorts, from all corners. Listeners will hear 20 goodies from the record labels Intakt, Relative Pitch, Thrill Jockey, Out of Your Head and Infrequent Seams among many others, with jazz by old and newcomers, avant pop, contemporary and traditional ‘classical,’ noisy rock, and as usual music that’s un-categorizable.
