Hosted by Rob Saffer.
This live broadcast from Overlook Mountain will feature 23 newly released recordings left over from 2023. They were too good to pass up so host Rob Saffer will give them some air in the second “Overlooked” of 2024. The show will feature a variety of musical genres and artists from all over: Norway to Mali, Egypt to Germany. Polyphonic vocals, jazz, Tuareg blues, new classical, ambient and of course some non-categorizable music will be featured. One Eric Dolphy re-release will be added for very good measure.

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. Live from the shadow of Overlook Mountain in Ulster County.
