Vogel,Karsten This Is It CD

There aren't many alto saxophonists to whom I'd rather be listening. He has a lovely tone - slender, fibrous and very human - and a shallow vibrato: a highly distinctive combination. If you listen to one of his improvisations and just concentrate on the shaping of his phrases, it can be a good reminder of how inventive and unpredictable a great jazz musician can be. (Richard Williams 2016) Karsten Vogel (born January 11, 1943) is a Danish composer. He is also a conductor, a saxophonist and a music teacher.
