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 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 pis**d 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 thisimpromptu 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 pi**ed off that this little guy 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 climbs up onto the stage, takes hold of the mike and starts to sing.
"A jazz chord to say I ruv you."
