About Mundell Lowe
A reliable cool-toned guitarist who was played on many sessions through the years and enjoyed a sideline scoring movies and television shows, Mundell Lowe picked up early experience between 1936 and 1940 playing Dixieland in New Orleans and country music in Nashville. He toured with Jan Savitt (1942), Ray McKinley (1945 through 1947), Mary Lou Williams (1947 through 1949), Red Norvo, and Ellis Larkins. In 1950, he became a staff musician at NBC, although he always played jazz on the side. Lowe was with the Sauter-Finegan Orchestra (1952 and 1953), occasionally worked with Benny Goodman, and recorded as a leader for RCA, Riverside, Camden, and Charlie Parker Records. In 1965, Lowe moved to California and worked as a composer for film and television scores, teaching film composition from 1979 to 1985. He played locally in Los Angeles, often with Richie Kamuca and Benny Carter. Mundell Lowe recorded sets for Famous Door (1974), Dobre (1976), and Jazz Alliance (1992). Mundell Lowe died in San Diego, California on December 2, 2017; he was 95 years old. ~ TiVo Staff
