Stevie Wonder
Stevie Wonder is playing his 1st gig in China and the place is
packed to the rafters.
In a bid to break the ice he asks if anyone has a request. One chap
jumps out of his seat in the 1st row and shouts at the top of his
voice "Play a jazz chord ! Play a jazz chord!"
Amazed that this guy knows about the jazz influences in his career, the blind impresario nods and
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.
However, when the applause dies down the chap jumps out of his seat again and shouts "No, no, play a jazz
chord, play a jazz chord!!!". A bit cheesed off by this time, but being the professional he is, Stevie dives straight in to a
jazz improvisation with his band around the B flat minor chord and really tears the place apart.
The crowd go ballistic again, but, still the little Chinese man jumps up again and shouts, more frantically now, "No, no. no!!! Play a jazz chord, play a jazz chord!!!!"
Stevie is really hacked and shouts to him from the stage " OK - smart ***, you get up here and do it".
The little bloke climbs onto the stage, takes hold of the mike and starts to sing............
" a jazz chord, to say , I ruv yooooo..."
