Smoke Sessions Records is an independent record label, based in New York City.
Smoke jazz club started the label in 2014. In its first year, a vinyl sampler and nine CDs were released. The music is mostly post-bop jazz. Early releases included recordings led by Harold Mabern, Vincent Herring, Javon Jackson, and David Hazeltine.
