Sweet Smoke were a 1960s and 1970s psychedelic 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 fan presence on the internet to this day.[1] Within a year of their arrival they recorded their first L.P. "Just a Poke" which almost immediately turned them into a sort of cult icon of the underground scene which was beginning to emerge as Europe's response to the American hippy scene.
