It is that rare occasion when there is newly released John Coltrane music. It is a much rarer day when a live version of his opus A Love Supreme is released. The only time, since 2002, when the other extant live version of Live in Antibes 1965, was officially released (bootlegs had been around for decades). This broadcast will feature both live recordings: the just-released A Love Supreme Live in Seattle and the one from Antibes 1965, both on Impulse. Music featured includes the main movements - Acknowledgement, Resolution, Pursuance, and Psalm - in their entirety from the new Seattle recording (which also includes four Interludes), but only three-quarters of the Antibes set due to time constraints. The type of deep, comparative listening radio experience that the late jazz DJ Phil Schaap would have appreciated. This broadcast is dedicated to Schaap.

“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.

Host Rob Saffer is the former Executive Director and Producer of the Creative Music Foundation. While living in Brooklyn for 25 years, he served on advisory boards for Celebrate Brooklyn and Symphony Space.
