Rob Frayne is a Canadian jazz saxophone player, arranger and bandleader based in Ottawa.

Career

Frayne "was leader of Chelsea Bridge (quartet) and is now fronting the new groovy jam-band 3Jimmys." [1] AllMusic calls the Chelsea Bridge "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)." [2] 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."[2]

He has also "performed with the Shuffle Demons, Mary Margaret O’Hara, Gil Evans Orchestra, Fred Stone, Angstones, Hemispheres and many others." [1]
