Review

The debut album of the Norwegian saxophonist Marius Neset is a suite for jazz quartet and string quartet. Neset give us an elevated chamber music experience including seven movements with consistently strong compositions[2][3]

Kirkemusikki Bergen in the review of Neset's album Suite For The Seven Mountains states:

... Suite for the seven mountains was his first solo release and is a very successful crossover composition written for jazz quartet and string quintet with a classical chamber music expression...[4]
