Phishheads : you should be aware of Sweet smoke...

"This album, like the two others of this american group (that left America for Germany at the end of the 60's), is absolutely perfect. Very very long jams (three songs only), great progressive-jazz-rock fusion style, buy it now!!! The songs progressive & transcendental structure is a warranty of orgasmic pleasure !I regret that american people don't know this group (that's what i've been told), because it could be a revelation for most of jazz-rock fans. Moreover, i sincerely think that Phish has learned a lot from Sweet smoke, and use that in their jams.My dream was (and still is!) that Sweet Smoke & Phish play together on stage...but Sweet Smoke is no more. That's why I advise you, if you're was not already aware of this group (and especially if you're a phishhead), to discover Sweet Smoke, and in particular this "Live one". Note that the complete show is available in Germany (5 songs). Don't miss it !"
