In this live broadcast from Overlook Mountain, “Overlooked” host Rob Saffer will spin 20 newly released tracks spanning a variety of styles: international, jazz both in and out, contemporary classical and noise. The show will lean heavily on Asian composer/musicians while also including traditional, indigenous instruments blending with conventional western ones. Much of the music could be described as atmospherically moody. There will also be three covers of compositions by Thelonious Sphere Monk, including two versions of "Trinkle, Tinkle."
