Well, that didn't take long. If the Guardian's crowdsourcers can spend hours trawling through Tony Blair's complex accounts for the reward of a Steve Bell cartoon, then the offer of a deluge of Wynton Marsalis recordings mentioned in Shortcuts this morning was bound to have an instant impact.
The jazz legend wanted to send a large part of his 70-plus catalogue of recordings to the anonymous Spaniard who called police to a jazz festival because the music being played was not, he insisted, jazz. Marsalis just needed to find him. Now Rafael Gisbert, a jazz purist from the Madrid dormitory town of Alcorcon, has stepped forward.
