Ken Gargett Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 A Jazz Chord 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 guy 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 pissed 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 pissed off that this little guy doesn't seem to appreciate his playing ability, Stevie says to him from the stage: "OK smartass. You get up here and do it!" The little old man climbs up onto the stage, takes hold of the mike, and starts to sing: "A jazz chord to say I ruv you..." (apologies - rob insisted i post)

El Presidente Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 My 12 year old son Ben is off to Japan next week for a 14 day school trip where he will be homestaying with a Japanese family. I have printed this out and given it to him. What a perfect after dinner ice breaker....just before they sit down and watch the DVD I bought him to take...."Tora Tora Tora" ;-)

I hope your son is used to some hardcore lack of AC though.
