I love to start the weekend with my favorite BC buds, THE TALLBROTHERS. Today we enjoy the wonderful reefer jazz tune “You Get Me Too High”. Actual brothers, Thomas and Bill Small are the core of this legendary Vancouver, BC band. Bill helped launch the British Columbia Compassion Club Society that provides low-cost, high quality organic medicinal marijuana to anyone with a doctor’s prescription. Incredibly, Tom started writing music at the age of 8 and both brothers have a long musical resume. Currently taking their inspiration from 30’s and 40’s reefer tunes gleaned from the archives of Cab Calloway, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole and others, the Tallbrothers are THE sound of hot jazz in the cannabis community. According to their website, the band’s name comes from an old reefer jazz tune called “Man with the Jive” where a line exclaims “Light up baby and get real tall!” I hope you all have a chance to get real tall this weekend! Please visit their myspace page to sample and download this uber-cool music, or visit 420tunes.ca to purchase their amazing CD.
