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