A Japanese tourist approaches a piano player in a cocktail bar and asks him for a request. 'Can you play jazz chord?' he asks.
'Sure,.' replies the pianist who is a jazz musician doing a piano bar gig for the money. Pleased that there is finally a jazz fan in the audience, he enthusiastically starts to play 'Cherokee' at a burning tempo.
'That not jazz chord,' says the Japanese tourist. 'I want to hear jazz chord.'
'Okay, check this out,' says the piano player and starts to play 'Body and Soul' with heavy flourishes.
'Solly, but that not jazz chord,' interrupts the tourist. 'I want famous jazz chord.'
'Okay,' says the pianist. 'You've got it.' And so saying he begins to play a very up tempo version of 'Giant Steps'.
'No, no! That not jazz chord,' insists the Japanese client.
'If those aren't jazz chords,' says the pianist losing his patience, 'then tell me what kind of tune you mean.'
'It is velly famous song. It go rike this "Jazz chord to say I rove you".
