Overlooked

<p>For nine years, “Overlooked” host Rob Saffer has presented the “Annual Thanksgiving Tryptophanfest of Intolerable Music” as a public service to get his listeners to spend holiday time with their hopefully less intolerable families. Given the abundance of intolerability lately, Saffer has decided to change the subject from intolerable music to music that’s relentless and ecstatic; ignore your family this holiday and listen to the radio! This show is officially “The First Thanksgiving Tryptophanfest of Relentless &amp; Ecstatic Music” and it will feature an all-American line up, from hillbilly reels and psychedelic rock to maximal minimalism and classic jazz, among others.&nbsp;</p><p><em><strong>Playlist:</strong>&nbsp;</em></p><p>Snap Crackle - Roy Haynes</p><p>Raoul - Roy Haynes</p><p>Vitus Labrusca (“Overlooked” theme) - Ben LaMar Gay</p><p>A Thanksgiving Prayer - William Burroughs</p><p>Jumping Wired - Henry Flynt</p><p>Marquee Moon - Television</p><p>Focus on Fifths - Cline, Kaiser, Thomas, Walter, Whitman</p><p>My Song - Sonny Sharrock</p><p>Scat Jam - Michael Yonkers</p><p>The Eleven - Grateful Dead</p><p>Blue Sky - Allman Brothers Band</p><p>Ohm - Yo La Tengo</p><p>Automaginary - Natural Information Society</p><p>Poppy Nogood All Night Flight V. 1 - Terry Riley</p><p>India - John Coltrane&nbsp;</p><p>Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue - Duke Ellington&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>After the 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.
