Wonder-ful
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 I play a jazz
chordâ€.
Amazed that this guy knows about the jazz influences in Stevie’s varied career, the blind impresario starts to play at, 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 chordâ€.
A bit p*ssed off by this, Stevie, being the professional tiat 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 off his technical expertise.
The little old man jumps up again.
‘NO, NO. Play a Jazz chord, play a jazz chordâ€.
Well and truly p*ssed Off that this little guy doesn’t seem to
Appreciate his playing ability Stevie says to him from the stage
smart ass. You get up here and do it’†The little old man climbs
onto the stage, takes hold of the mike...
and starts to sing
