Rob Frayne (born 1957) is a Canadian jazz saxophonist, arranger and bandleader based in Ottawa, Ontario.
He had played with the Gil Evans Orchestra, Kenny Wheeler, and Toronto's costumed jazz cut-ups the Shuffle Demons.
Outside of Canada, he played concerts in New York, Washington, Norway and the U.K."[3] In 2004, Frayne was involved in a car crash, following which he had a stroke and was in hospital for over two months.
[1] He had "partial paralysis and a left lung that didn't work", so even following recovery his saxophone capability was reduced.
[2] He continued with such appearances and commented four years later: "After getting hit by a truck, you don't really care so much about what people think [...] I just play the stuff I really like, and feel good about it.
