Steve Wonder's A Jazz Chord

[Bujibuji Simba Nyamaume]

Stevie Wonder is playing a gig in Nairobi.
He's just finished playing his Seventies
classic Sir Duke. The crowd is still going wild
when a young Kikuyu man at the front says,
"Stevie Wonder, you play a jazz chord, you
play a jazz chord!" So Stevie plays an F#
minor on his keyboard and goes off on a
jazz riff. The Kikuyu man says, "No Stevie
Wonder, you play a jazz chord!" So Stevie
tries an A and off he goes with the band on
this amazing improvised moment. When
he's finished, the lad says, "No Stevie, a jazz
chord, a jazz chord!"
By now old Stevie is a little confused. "What
do you mean, play a jazz chord? I've just
done 2 for you..?" he says to the fan. "But it
best song of Stevie Wonder! It velly famous!"
comes the reply. "Ok, well how does it go
then?", enquires the blind musical genius.
The Young Kikuyu man clears his throat and
starts to sing:
Something like this.........
"A jazz chord..............to say, I ruv you..."
