The record

Guitarist Lowe rounds up a sharp small-army of players -- Costa on piano and vibes, Byrd on trumpet, Cleveland's trombone, Tony Scott doubling clarinet and baritone -- to swing through themes lifted from the small screen. A budget-label curiosity that punches well above its Camden pedigree, thanks to a bandstand full of first-call New York talent.
