PATRICIA BARBER - MYTHOLOGIES   In 2003, acclaimed singer-pianist Patricia Barber became one of the few jazz musicians ever to be awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship, and she took the opportunity to create one of the most ambitious and affecting works of her career. Embarking on a bold, exciting musical adventure, Barber brings her compositional sophistication to new heights with Mythologies, a song cycle based on Greek mythology where each of the 11 mythological characters in Ovid’s Metamorphoses is fleshed out in music.     TRACK LISTING 1 The Moon 2 Morpheus 3 Pygmalion 4 Hunger 5 Icarus (for Nina Simone) 6 Orpheus/ Sonnet 7 Persephone 8 Narcissus 9 Whiteworld/ Oedipus 10 Phaethon 11 The Hours Patricia Barber - piano & vocals Neal Alger - Guitar Michael Arnapol - Bass Eric Montzka - Drums With special guests: Jim Gailloreto saxophone (tracks 1, 2, 10); Choral Thunder, directed by Shelby Webb, Jr. background vocals (tracks 10, 11) With additional vocals by: Paul Falk (track 7), Grazyna Auguscik (track 11), Lawrice Flowers (tracks 7, 10), Airreal Watkins (track 10), Walter “Mitchell” Owens, III (track 10) All words & music by Patricia Barber Produced by Patricia Barber (Blue Note Records - 2006)
