Album Notes & Community Reviews
A towering figure in Swedish music, Cornelis Vreeswijk masterfully updates the traditional 'visa' (folk song) form on 'Grimascher och telegram'. Accompanied by subtle jazz and swing instrumentation, his poetic, often bittersweet lyricism tackles romantic melancholia and sharp social observation with equal dexterity.
