Overlooked: Newly Released Jazz (Audio)

Aug 11, 2020

This broadcast will feature two hours of un-square new recordings that fit squarely into the jazz idiom. Featured musicians include Rudresh Mahanthappa; Dave Douglas; Matt Wilson; Alan Braufman; Rez Abassi; Nat King Cole; Thelonious Monk; Omri Ziegele; Whit Dickey, Matthew Shipp, Nate Wooley; Caterpillar Quartet; Kris Davis and Ingrid Laubrock; Liberty Ellman; Joshua Crumbly; Bill Frisell; Thumbscrew; Miles Okazaki; Stirrup + 6; Billy Martin; Makaya McCraven; and more, if time permits.

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.

Host Rob Saffer is the former Executive Director and Producer of the Creative Music Foundation.
