jazz lover ?
Stevie Wonder is playing his first gig in Tokyo and the place is
absolutely
packed to the rafters. In a bid to break the ice with his new audience he
asks if anyone would like him to play a request.
A little old Japanese man jumps out of his seat in the first row and
shouts
at the top of his voice “Play a Jazz chord ! Play a jazz chord!”.Amazed that this bloke knows about the jazz influences in Stevie’s varied
career, the blind impresario starts to play an E minor scale and then
goes
into a difficult jazz melody for about 10 minutes.When he finishes the whole place goes wild. The little old man jumps up
again and shouts “No, no, play a Jazz chord, play a Jazz chord”.A bit watered off by this, Stevie, being the professional that he is,
dives
straight into a jazz improvisation with his band around the B flat minor
chord and really tears the place apart. The crowd goes wild with this
impromptu show of his technical expertise.The little old man jumps up again. “No, no. Play a Jazz chord, play a
Jazz
chord”.Well and truly watered off that this little bloke doesn’t seem to
appreciate his playing ability. Stevie says to him from the stage “OK smart ***. You
get up here and do it!”The little old man gingerly climbs up onto the stage, takes hold of the
mike, faces the huge audience and starts to sing…” A jazz chord to say I ruv roo…”
