Posium Pendasem

Posium Pendasem is an album by American jazz double bassist William Parker, which was recorded live during the Workshop Freie Musik '98 at The Akademie der Künste in Berlin, and released on the German FMP label.

The last composition of the suite, titled “Another Angel Goes Home”, is a requiem for the drummer Denis Charles, who died a few days before.

[1] In his review for AllMusic, Steve Loewy states "While there is no new ground broken, this recording is a fine example of the creative intensity generated by a small conglomeration that continues to knock out some of the finest music of its kind.

"[2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz claims "Fabulous music, in every sense of the word, dense and thoughtful brightly coloured and abstract by turns.

"[4] The JazzTimes review by Bill Shoemaker states "Exemplary of Parker's approach to extended open-form works, it is refreshingly void of pat, diffused intensity and clumsy transition points.
