Sweet Smoke

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


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.[1]
