Sweet Smoke - Just a Poke

Sweet Smoke were a 1960's and 70's progressive jazz-rock band. They incorporated many different influences such as jazz, funk and island rhythms. They were originally formed in Brooklyn, New York in 1967, although the band moved to live as a commune in Germany before the decade was out. They have a large underground following even to this day.

Just a Poke
is the first album by the band Sweet Smoke, released in 1970, engineered by Conny Plank.

The song Baby Night is the perfect introduction to the band, displaying their progressive jazz fusion style at the time. The song can be divided into three main sections, the highlights being the instrumental sections.
