Everybody loves tenorist Marius Neset since the release of his entirely revelatory second album, Golden Xplosion, in 2011 and its hardly less revelatory successor, Birds, in 2013. And a lot of people are accordingly super-excited to hear what the fast-evolving 29-year-old Norwegian – cited as a successor to both Jan Garbarek and Michael Brecker – will do on his next release. This isn't that next album, though. Rather, it's a reissue of his debut, recorded with his band People Are Machines and supplemented with a string quartet. And very good and pretty mature-sounding it is too, although in interview Neset has suggested that it was only with Golden Xplosion that he really found his voice. Pitched somewhere between Focus and A Love Supreme, Suite for the Seven Mountains is a thoughtful, spiritually questing seven-part suite offered in homage to his native city of Bergen. It features some sublime playing – hardly surprising given the composition of the band: Petter Eldh is the bassist with Belovèd Bird, the trio led by Neset's champion at the Rhythmic Conservancy in Copenhagen, Django Bates; Anton Eger is the drummer with Phronesis and Magnus Hjorth on piano is no slouch either.
