Old Jazz Men were a bunch of stoners

[Gryphonn]

Hey all

Check out:

"The Best Marijuana, Cannabis, & Pot Songs Of All Times,"

There is a good list of Pot related songs there. Some of the best are the old jazz tunes that are classics of their time; 'Reefer Man' etc.

When I'm more awake, I'll post a list of songs that I have that are all pot related.

Cheers

lol when i first got into smoking weed i also got into jazz music at the same time.. my art teacher was a stoner and he would make us watch art videos with coltrane in the background

I've just been getting into jazz (and some swing, big band) really cool stuff.

I think we smokers have a lot to thank the old Jazz and Blues greats for.

I doubt the pot scene would be as big as it is if not for their music spreading the message.

i absolutely LOVE jazz music. alllllll sorts.

bebop is ridiculously hard to play, gives you a whole new respect when listening to those old artists

but i must say my favorite is just your big band swing

loud. ridiculously high trumpet parts. crazy sax riffs. killer bass lines. and a grooving rhythm section. improv is a must.

ohh i love it. XD

anybody play out there?

>peace<

I don't play, but your brilliant descriptiuon of Big band Swing reminded me for some reason of the Santa Cruz Hemp Allstars.
Well worth a listen:

All be-bop is reefer music. And not only did aot of jazz musicians smoked marijuana but they were big into mescaline and psychedelics. alot of good jazz musicians were distroyed by heroin later on. Art pepper, jaco pastorius, etc. So much great jazz influenced by drugs.
