Welcome back to the stash! I also welcome back our favorite BC buds, THE TALL BROTHERS. Today we enjoy another one of thier wonderful reefer jazz tunes, “Jive Cake Stuffin’ to take us into the weekend. The 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. Tom started writing music at the age of 8, plays all kinds of instruments and has worked as an audio engineer. Both brothers have a long musical resume in different musical genres. Taking their inspiration from 30’s and 40’s reefer jazz tunes from greats like Cab Calloway, Ella Fitzgerald and Nat King Cole, the Tall Brothers have a classic jazz sound with a contemporary twist. 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!” Let’s all 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. Go ahead and buy two or three copies, it will be the coolest gift you give someone this year.
