"With Seven Hills (recorded in Lisbon - the city of Seven Hills) the music, the compositions, the playing and communication are even better. It?s more controlled, bound together with a greater and more developed precision and vision. This music is highly creative and bustling with life and is sure to ignite a lot of interest over the coming months. Seven Hills is an album that will turn heads and help return Alexi to where he left off at the height of his career with Warner Music. It marks a new chapter in Tuomarila?s illustrious career and with a greater maturity to his playing, composition and approach to music making. 'With ""Seven Hills"" Alexi Tuomarila has emerged as a particularly endearing composer. And like his mentor Brad Mehldau, he finds a way to deepen his natural lyricism in telepathy with his partners. His best record to date, recorded this time in Lisbon, the city of seven hills!' - France Music"
