This is my second Christmas album, but in many ways, I kind of feel like it's my first, says guitarist/vocalist Jonathan Butler, as he talks about his new album, Christmas Together, a collaboration with all-star friends, recorded and mixed in the studio he built in his home in Southern California. InchChristmas is family and friends,Inch he continues. InchIt's about being all together. So, I called my friends - all these amazing players - Sheléa, Dave Koz, Keiko Matsui, Kirk Whalum and so many others - and every one of them simply said, 'Just say when you want me and where you want me and I'll be there!' They brought their love and their spirit into my home and I was honored.Inch We associate Christmas music with love and family, happiness and togetherness and Jonathan had that to spare.
