Reference excerpt

TV Action Jazz! is an album by American jazz guitarist Mundell Lowe and an ad hoc octet dubbed his All Stars.

Inception and Release TV Action Jazz comprised the group's interpretations of theme music from private eye, and legal and police drama television programs. The album was recorded in Webster Hall in New York City over three days in February 1959 for the RCA Camden label. RCA released TV Action Jazz in April 1959, along with Porgy and Bess, which featured the group's interpretations of the George Gershwin folk opera. The two disks were Lowe's first recordings for RCA, coming over from the Riverside jazz label.

Sales and Reception

In November 1959, TV Action Jazz was ranked by rack jobbers among the top ten best selling low-priced LPs, as tabulated by both Billboard and Cash Box. Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars with its review by Scott Yanow stating, "this is an album worth searching for. The solos are excellent and the music is much better than expected". Based on the album's success, Lowe released a second album of theme music a year later with a different all-star lineup, Themes from Mr. Lucky, The Untouchables and Other TV Action Jazz.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with TV Action Jazz!

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what TV Action Jazz! claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to TV Action Jazz! before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about TV Action Jazz! ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of TV Action Jazz!

In research: TV Action Jazz! appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses TV Action Jazz! in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: TV Action Jazz! is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1959 albums, Mundell Lowe albums, RCA Camden Records albums, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for TV Action Jazz! outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
