BACKGROUND
The essence is in the centre - the intensely moving singing and orchestration by Jansug Kakhidze of a life-affirming song he wrote while recovering from heart surgery. So to precede it is the timeless gospel folk song and to follow is a third "ode to life", the late, great Don Pullen in elegaic mood. All three are songs full of the deepest hope which can only come from age, experience and survival.
