Time-honoured music associated with the holiday season has the almost magical ability to transport listeners beyond their thoughts into a world of reminiscence, nostalgia, feeling and emotion. For H2, exploring this music that is not typically approached in the jazz
genre presents real challenges, with keeping melodies recognizable being paramount. The creative process starts with finding a rhythmic basis for each song, followed by choices of harmony, melodic explorations, and where best for the music to be written out or improvised. But most importantly for H2's Mike & Sean, the artistic experience has to be fun.

It is H2's hope that Home for the Holidays will become a valued part of their friends' and fans' holiday season. And they wish to remind every-one that, as their cover art depicts, HOME can be anywhere so long as you're with good company!
