Flood Tideis the Sam Crockatt Quartet's second album.The quartet inhabit a lyrical land of hooky grooves, fast paced melodies and toe-tapping jazz swing. The antidote to the thrashy punk jazz of their peers, this music is soulful, absorbing and upbeat. Interest has grown for the group since their first album 'Howeird'. It won album of the year in the 2009 Parliamentary Jazz Awards and picked up strong reviews across the media.The quartet consists of Sam Crockatt on sax, 2010 Mercury nominated Kit Downes on piano, Oli Hayhurst on bass and Ben Reynolds on drums.
