"In November Sunlight" is the debut album by the smooth jazz band Soko, released on December 17, 1996. This is the first and only album featuring John Gilmore as a member of the band, who left the band after the album, turning Soko into a duet, although did perform as a guest on the following album. Seven of the nine tracks on the album feature guest musicians, and three of the four guests are associated with the Dave Matthews Band—Dave Matthews, LeRoi Moore, and Tim Reynolds. The fourth guest, percussionist Darrell Rose, created the album's artwork. [cite web | url=http://www.sokoband.com/recordings/ | title=Recordings | publisher=Soko | accessdate=2006-10-27] The entire album is instrumental with the exception of the end of "Jiriki," which features vocals by Dave Matthews.
