About this album

Col Nolan Quartet’s Arrangements is a polished 1976 jazz album that balances tasteful originals with well-chosen standards and familiar themes. Led by pianist and arranger Col Nolan, the quartet brings a light, disciplined touch to material such as Take Five, Back At The Chicken Shack and Come Rain, Come Shine, while the title points to the record’s emphasis on writing and ensemble craft. The inclusion of Picnic At Hanging Rock underlines Nolan’s interest in Australian references, giving the album a distinctive local identity within a classic small-group jazz framework. It is a concise, musically assured statement from one of Australia’s steady jazz figures.
