Overview

Neighborhoods is the second solo album by the jazz cornetist Olu Dara. Reception A writer for Time stated that Dara "makes music that doesn't just grow on you; it grows around you, locking you in an inescapable embrace, like an oak tree that's knotted around a fence. Once his magical blend of jazz and blues gets hold of the listener, there's no escape — and no wanting to leave." Geoffrey Himes of The Washington Post wrote: "The spontaneity of [Dara's] approach applies not only to his vocals and guitar work but also to his songwriting, which starts with a simple lyric theme and then improvises riff after riff on that idea. Observers who criticize the looseness of Dara's songwriting are missing the point; that very looseness is what allows the impulsive gestures that make his music sound so unpremeditated, so in the moment."

Notable quotes

“It is in this wrestling that Jacob 'prevails with God', and realises that he has seen God face to face. He has overcome not God but his own rivalry. After this mysterious struggle he was able to recognise his wrongdoing and look his brother Esau in the face. Thus he was able to learn to live in peace with his brother—and become Israel, a community of brethren.”
— James Alison, Faith Beyond Resentment: fragments catholic and gay. New York: Crossroad, 2001. 76.
“A community is like a ship; everyone ought to be prepared to take the helm.”
— Henrik Ibsen, An Enemy of the People (1882), Billing, Act I
“Theological condemnation of others, which breaks off fellowship in either judgment or contempt, is impermissible.”
— Ernst Käsemann, describing Paul's view, Commentary on the Romans (1980), p. 369
“Without community there is no liberation.”
— Audre Lorde, The Master’s Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master’s House. 1984. Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches. Ed. Berkeley, California: Crossing Press. 110-114. 2007
“The brotherhood of the community is indeed the ground in which the individual is ethically realized. But the community is the frustration as well as the realization of individual life. Its collective egotism is an offense to his conscience; its institutional injustices negate the ideal of justice; and such brotherhood as it achieves is limited by ethnic and geographic boundaries.”
— Reinhold Niebuhr, The Nature and Destiny of Man: A Christian Interpretation (1941)
“Nations had risen against nations, employing the subtlest devices of mechanism and mind to waste, and excruciate, and overthrow. The great community of mankind had been subdivided into ten thousand communities, each organized for the ruin of the other.”
— Percy Bysshe Shelley, Essay on Christianity (1859)
