With Home is Here, his third album with the Interconnections Ensemble, Felipe Salles draws inspiration from his fellow immigrants in the jazz community. The album features eight new compositions, each written for and directly inspired by an individual soloist. Salles chose a diverse and compelling cast of special guests for the recording, spanning an array of nationalities, cultures, traditions, generations, and stories: clarinetist Paquito D'Rivera (Cuba), singer Sofia Rei (Argentina), saxophonist Jacques Schwartz-Bart (Guadeloupe), flugelhornist Nadje Noordhuis (Australia), singer Magos Herrera (Mexico), saxophonist-percussionist Yosvany Terry (Cuba), guitarist Chico Pinheiro (Brazil), and saxophonist Melissa Aldana (Chile). 

*Chico Pinheiro, a childhood friend of Salles from Brazil, summed up the difference between jazz and Brazilian music, saying the former is about the desire for power (band leading, soloing, technique), while the latter focuses on the promise of happiness. (Home is Here, release notes)
