Pondside was originally composed in 1993 when Denson was studying with George Russell at the New England Conservatory. It celebrates Jamaica Pond, a much-loved landmark in the neighbourhood of Jamaica Plain in Boston. Surrounded by trees and frequented by swans and ducks, the pond was an oasis of beauty and calm in a large and violent American city. This arrangement is one of three saxophone quartet settings of compositions which date from this important period in Denson’s musical life. Pondside is available on Barega Saxophone Quartet's album "Three Serpents" http://baregasaxquartet.bandcamp.com/releases

Pondside - Louise Denson
