First re-release of the top rare 1970 Kraut jazz album that incorporates rock, soul jazz, jazz funk, hard bop, eastern elements and latin music, originally pressed on the small and completely vanished German "dk disc" label. Stand out "Dauner-Oimels" style recorded at Jankowski Studio Stuttgart feat. bass player Wolfgang Schmid of Passport and Billy Cobham fame in his first recording session, a holy collector's album including old school DJ faves "Swinger from Rio" and "Danny's Walk", original copies changing hands for approx. 250 Euros on ebay today, remastered 2008, plus original cover artwork and new liner notes. Available on digipack-CD & limited vinyl-LP. This is the first and only German longplay release by four soulful gentlemen from the Stuttgart area, the so called Dieter Seelow & Peter Mayer formation, including the internationally well known bass player Wolfgang Schmid in his first recording session, later on with Passport, Billy Cobham or ARD TV show "Superdrumming ". "Mr. Dynamite" from 1970 is a blend of excellent musicianship with musical knowledge, that became a sought after collector`s item in our times, with seldom seen original copies changing hands for around 250 Euros over the worldwide web. The very rare album has been released on the producer`s own label "dk-disc" in an edition of a few hundred copies only and got no re-pressings until today, 38 years after the music was produced in the studio of Horst Jankowski in Stuttgart.The short lived band by Dieter Seelow and Peter Mayer work together as one, in a style that can be compared to the sounds of Wolfgang Dauner on his "Rischka`s Soul" or "Oimels" albums from the same period, presenting challenging rhythm and harmonics throughout. Their music has a feeling which together is excitingly inventive but clear of idea. The sounds on this album incorporate soul jazz, jazz funk, hard bop, latin music plus the typical psych and kraut rock ingredients of the late 60s and early 70s.
