I've never heard this guy, but I suspect I'd have the same feeling about 
Tallqvist's stuff. Some of that "west coast" school may entertain me live, 
but I have yet to hear a single record in the genre that does more than 
raise an eyebrow. 

If I want to jump, I listen to Louis Jordan, Louis Prima and these guys. 
They knew how to swing. I haven't heard a modern rhythm section that comes 
close. Seems the "modern" interpretation of the genre is square as square 
can be, and that certainly doesn't get my pulse boiling. 

Who needs a pulse check now ?
