Overlooked: Newly Released Jazz

Hosted by Rob Saffer.

In this live broadcast from Overlook Mountain, “Overlooked” host Rob Saffer spins more newly released music. This time it’s solely jazz, much centered on piano-led groups. Most of the show will be composed of brand new music created by early- and mid-career musician composers; a few pieces are by jazz elder statesmen; and some of the tracks are new reissues of recordings from the 1960s, 70s and 90s. We’ll hear mostly original tunes, along with some covers in solos, duets, trios, quartets and larger ensembles. A full playlist is below:

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.

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. He also curated the Brooklyn Museum’s summer jazz series and helped found The Mingus Big Band.
