I've been meaning to add to this thread but you have pretty much said it all there. I wasn't really blown away or anything but he is good at what he does. I was familiar with the St. Germain track so when Mr Dave mentioned the connection it was instantly recognisable as Ernest Ranglin. In all I'd say good but not essential.
