Karsten Vogel: Late Night Ballads (CD)

With a career spanning more than six decades, Danish saxophonist Karsten Vogel is one of the true veterans of the Scandinavian music scene. On his new album *Late Night Ballads*—recorded with pianist Mads Søndergaard, bassist Peter Hansen, and drummer Klaus Menzer—Vogel turns his gaze inward and returns to the core of his jazz roots with a deeply reflective and intimate album.
