Jim McLeod's Jazz Tracks is a compilation album of jazz music recorded for Jim McLeod's long running ABC-FM radio show Jazztrack. The lead track "Windows of Arquez" by Bryce Rohde And Bruce Cale was at the time the shows theme song.
Reception
The album was nominated as the Best Jazz Album at the 1990 ARIA Awards but lost out to Browne, Costello & Grabowsky with their album Six By Three.
Adrian Jackson, writing in BRW, praised the album and signed off "hoping it turns out to be the first of a series."
