Overlooked

<p>In most years, very little new music gets released in December and January, so it takes some time for “Overlooked” host Rob Saffer to gather enough new music worthy for listeners’ ears. Now, there’s enough freshly baked new 20205 releases for a full show, and this live broadcast from Overlook Mountain will feature them in a variety of styles: from acapella prison choirs and jazz from Switzerland, Norway and the U.S., to edgy neo-Classical and a mashup of classical and jazz musicians playing alongside traditional Chinese musicians and instruments such as the pipa. By serendipitous design, most have single word titles. Finally, this show is in honor of Susan Alcorn, the pedal steel player who died suddenly last week, and Soft Machine keyboardist Mike Ratledge who died last on February 5. May their music be a blessing. &nbsp;</p><p><em>Playlist:</em>&nbsp;</p><p>Hibou, Anemone &amp; Bear - Soft Machine</p><p>R.U.R.- Susan Alcorn</p><p>Vitus Labrusca (“Overlooked” Theme) - Ben LaMar Gay</p><p>Parchman Prison Blues - Parchman Prison Prayer</p><p>3 Lijm - The Young Mothers</p><p>Yikes - Tim Berne</p><p>Highway - Ydivide</p><p>40b - Steve Lehman</p><p>Poplar - Nicola Miller</p><p>Framedoodle - Katherine Kyu Hyeon Lim &amp; Joey Chang</p><p>TYPUS - Stemeseder Lillinger with Craig Taborn</p><p>Tunneled Throat - Dream Brigade</p><p>3 Untamed - Compersion Quartet</p><p>Haiti - Bro, Frisell, Konitz, Moran, Morgan &amp; Cyrille</p><p>Fuster - Allison Miller&nbsp;</p><p>Three - The Knights&nbsp;</p><p>Bloomed - Ambrose Akinmusire</p><p>vis-a-vis - Lei Liang</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.
