Chelsea Bridge (quartet)

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

Career

AllMusic called the group "an excellent Canadian jazz quartet comprised of Rob Frayne on tenor and soprano [sax], bassist John Geggie, drummer Jean Martin, trumpet player Clyde Forsberg,[1][2] and singer Tena Palmer (whose voice is effectively integrated as part of the group's ensemble)."[3]

AllMusic stated that the "group mostly plays originals by Frayne, Geggie, and Palmer. Their spontaneous performances are adventurous, but also often melodic and accessible."[3] 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."[4] In a Centretown News online article, a reviewer called the group "one of Ottawa's most prestigious jazz groups."
