Hailing from Chicago is the cast of characters assembled for Ryan Shultz's latest album, Hair Dryers (also Origin Records). This is an exciting album, with half the time spent exploring the outer edges of Miles Davis' 60s quintet and half going for broke with sounds and ideas right out of the mid-70s fusion era. While during the daytime on 'DCB Jazz, we'll be spending almost all of our time with the acoustic music, you can expect to hear some of the more raucous and electric tracks on Notes From the Jazz Underground in the coming weeks as well.
