Srevie Wonder & the Jazz Chord....

[Hunting 784561]

Stevie Wonder is playing his first gig in Tokyo and the place is 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 jumped out of his seat in the first row and shouted at the top of his voice

"Play a Jazz chord! Play a jazz chord!"

Flattered that the guy knew about the jazz influences in his career, Stevie starts to play an E minor scale and then goes into a difficult jazz melody for over 10 minutes…When he finished the whole place went wild….but the little old man jumped up again and shouted…

"No, No, play a Jazz chord….a Jazz chord".

A bit pissed off by this, Stevie, being the professional that he is, dives straight into a jazz improvisation based on the B flat minor chord....Nice.

The crowd went wild with this impromptu show of technical musical expertise, but the little old Japanese man jumped up again….

"No, No you sirry irriot, play a Jazz chord, play a Jazz chord".

Well and truly pissed off that this little guy doesn't seem to appreciate his playing ability. Stevie says to him from the stage

"OK you Japanese smart ass. You get up here and do it "

So the little old man climbed up onto the stage, took hold of the microphone and started to sing .....

I laughed at that back in the seventies.

Didn't see that coming. No not at all. Not one bit.

The inevitability is what makes it worthwhile .

The problem is, when you get a joke that involves someone from Japan, you immediately know it is all to do with Ls and Rs.

And indeed the b's and v's.
