Spanish Purist complains !

http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/blog/2009/dec/21/jazz-purist-found-wynton-marsalis

I couldnt help but smile this morning reading this story in the Guardian. A Spanish audience member complained at a Jazz concert that it was not Jazz, sparking the worlds jazz forums to fiercely debate What is Jazz ?

I wonder what would happen in Spain if an American aficionado complained at a flamenco gig that he wanted his money back as it was not flamenco ! I doubt somehow the artists would be trying to find him to send him his record collection !
