Jack's been hanging with Train, Michael Franti, Robert Randolph and others on Train's Sail Across the Sun Cruise this year, and his music has been compared to Alabama Shakes and Leon Bridges. However, this 2018 EP featuring four classic carols is mostly pop piano jazz, except for a fairly sprightly "White Christmas" that is worth your attention, in that it's the only one of the four songs that approaches the musical description above with its nice syncopated rhythm decorated with bluesy guitar fills. Definitely check it out and add it to your playlists.
