Sam CrockattSam started to play jazz at the age of ten, initially on Clarinet ,later switching to saxophone and coming under the spell of Coltrane, Rollins and Shorter.
Together with a small group of like minded , up and coming young musicians, he became a founder member of the Loop Collective, an artistic collaboration for sharing resources, events promotion and recording.. In this environment Sam has contributed to a diversity of creative music within the London and European jazz scene.
In 2009 he achieved wider recognition by gaining CD of the Year for his quartet in the Parliamentary Jazz Awards of that year.
Sam’s tenor playing reflects his deep affection and respect for jazz heritage and his melodic flair in a distinctively appealing modern sound.
Tim Garland, in his endorsement of Sam’s Quartet album “Howeired”,writes “The sun shines in Crockatt’s fresh and alluringly straightforward music”.
With Sam at the Hive on September 11th. will be the talented trio of Edgar Macias on keyboard, Tom Hill on Bass and Miles Levin on Drums.
