Patricia Barber revient avec un projet ambitieux, un album où chacun des titres est inspiré d'un personnage des "Métamorphoses" d'Ovide. Mythologie est un disque passionnant qui regroupe les meilleurs aspects du travail de cette merveilleuse musicienne. Barber brilliantly has found the means to re-imagine a piece of literature for a jazz context…The expressive range of this music proves thrilling…These songs stand on their own as immensely attractive jazz pieces, apart from their source material.
