Synopsis

Every neighborhood is filled with songs. Some are joyous, some are laments, and some are both. In every place those songs are nestled right together, in the air and buried in the ground, waiting to be heard.
Since 2005, saxophonist and author Greg Jarrell has been learning the songs of Enderly Park, his Charlotte neighborhood. In the Key of Life explores the riffs and melodies that comprise the life of the neighborhood and of QC Family Tree, the hospitality house where he lives. Though neighbors there face significant economic and political barriers, they still thrive. Funny, heartbreaking, and challenging in equal measure, these stories and essays about life in Enderly Park will surely inspire new improvisations towards community and neighbor-love for everyone who reads them.
