Arranged/Played/Composed by Jack Montrose is an album by saxophonist Jack Montrose, recorded in 1955 for Atlantic Records.^[1]

Reception

A review for AllMusic by Al Campbell states: "Tenor saxophonist Montrose was from the West Coast school of cool jazz, and was significantly influenced by classical music. On this date he was thinking specifically about utilizing every instrument in structured chamber-esque arrangements. Montrose managed to achieve his goal of leading a swinging improvised jazz session without being restricted by this rigid structure."
