Most “Overlooked” shows that focus on newly released music are not genre-specific. This one, however, is focused solely on new jazz: domestic and imported; large ensemble and small; traditional, modern and post modern; and everything in between, with an emphasis on guitars and cellos. One piece is a reissue.

“Overlooked” is a show focusing on overlooked and underplayed music of all varieties: jazz, improvisational, international, and other fringe music, ancient to future, familiar to rare, classic to weird. Broadcast live from Overlook Mountain in Ulster County, “Overlooked” offers programs focused solely on newly released music along with others that focus on specific musical themes or history.
