Chelsea Bridge is a Canadian jazz quartet based in Ottawa, Ontario.

Career

AllMusic calls the group "an excellent Canadian jazz quartet comprised of Rob Frayne on tenor and soprano [sax], bassist John Geggie, drummer Jean Martin, and singer Tena Palmer (whose voice is effectively integrated as part of the group's ensemble)." [1] AllMusic states that the "group (which has recorded several CDs for Unity) mostly plays originals by Frayne, Geggie, and Palmer. Their spontaneous performances are adventurous, but also often melodic and accessible."[1] AllMusic states that "Ranging from advanced straight-ahead to freer explorations, the Canadian group Chelsea Bridge is a quartet notable for including singer Tena Palmer's voice as part of the ensembles."[2] In a Centretown News online article, a reviewer called the group "one of Ottawa's most prestigious jazz groups."[3]
