Surrounded by Sea is an album by British saxophonist and composer Andy Sheppard recorded in Switzerland in 2014 and released on the ECM label the following year.

[1][2] The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek notes "Surrounded by Sea invites the listener into an intimate, mysterious sound world.

Through extremely close listening, the players explore the mystery of melody -- both plainly stated and implied -- and its various thematic trails in inspired if laid-back dialogue".

[3] All About Jazz reviewer Ian Patterson said, "Surrounded by Sea is an intimate statement whose chemistry belies the quartet's brief existence.

There's a bold honesty in the music's refined contours and graceful adventure that invites and rewards the patient listener.
