BAKMAK

Bakmak biography
BAKMAK was a fusion band from Germany formed around 1972. It's core members were Christian, Eckhard and Frank LUDECKE, Peter DORNENBURG and Reinhold HEIL. Most of the members had a legitimate musical endeavor only as BAKMAK, while Frank LUDECKE worked as a saxophonist and flautist with German jazz funk bands like MESSENGERS, and Reinhold HEIL on keyboards (pianist influenced by MILES DAVIS and FRANK ZAPPA) became more known later on as a soundtrack composer now based in Los Angeles.

BAKMAK's two albums are not unlike many of those in the German 70's fusion scene, resembling the likes of KRAAN and PASSPORT.
