Trio Patrekatt
Adam
Mondo Melodia/Ark 21
Interesting Swedish folk songs by a three-piece Chamber music ensemble. It’s all rather upbeat and happy, with some haunting melodies. I really dug “Goethe,” “Adam In Paradise,” “The Girl Said” (sounded remotely Beatle-esque), and “Neptune,” both of which put to music a bit of history and a bit of local folklore. Apparently “Neptune” is about a tailor who appeared out of the waters of a deep lake. Ark 21, 14724 Ventura Blvd., Penthouse Suite, Sherman Oakes, CA 91403
