Well…the economy is a bit shaky, and I felt to get us in the right mood to enjoy the weekend I better call up some old friends to cheer us all up. After a long dry summer, our favorite Reefer Jazz heads, The Tall Brothers, are back with some nice advice in their toker-tune, “Cool Out”. My favorite BC buds are actual brothers, Thomas and Bill Small, and along with their legendary Vancouver, BC band they bring new fans into the cannabis culture. 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. Tom started writing music at the age of 8 and both brothers have a long musical history. The Tall Brothers reefer tunes are gleaned from the archives of Cab Calloway, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole and others. 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!” When things look dire, sometimes all you can do is get real tall then tackle the situation with a new perspective. For more great music from the Tall Brothers, please visit their myspace page to sample and download the best jazz music you’ve enjoyed in a long time. You can also visit their website, 420tunes.ca to purchase their amazing CD. I already feel better! Thanks Thomas and Bill!
