Jack Montrose (December 30, 1928 – February 7, 2006) was an American jazz tenor saxophonist and arranger.
After attending college in Los Angeles, he worked with Jerry Gray and then Art Pepper.
Beginning in the mid-1950s Montrose's heroin addiction became a liability and by the time he had overcome it his style of jazz was no longer popular.
This led him to play in strip joints for a time until he relocated to Las Vegas where he worked in casinos.
