My local guy while flipping through all his stage came across a rather obscure Kansas Fusion band called Dry Jack. They only had 2 albums Magic Elements which came out in 1979 and one more after that. I bought Magic Elements. Anyone else have experience with this group?

I have them both. Good, solid stuff. Lit Spinners is a wicked track!
Nice find, John

I used to own Magical Elements -- transferred it to cassette and sold it along with many other LPs for gear.
To me "Sunday Boogie-Nookie Stomp" was an excellent overall slice of their gestalt and was totally radio-ready fusion.
Tight group with very interesting compositions. They reminded me, soundwise, of a T. Lavitz (Dixie Dregs) solo album or Spirogyra without the sax.
"Whale City" from their first release is so, so nice with synth lines to die for. When synths kicked in -- I felt like I was listening to a track from Todd Rundgren's excellent Healing release.
Dry Jack was a totally keys driven group that knew how to stretch and could handle complex unison lines.

I think I have them both but couldn't comment on them.
