Steve Davis: Gettin' It Done
by Bruce Lindsay

Mike DiRubbo: Chronos
by Dan Bilawsky
Piano has always been part of the package on saxophonist Mike DiRubbo's albums. Still, when DiRubbo made his Posi-Tone debut with Repercussion in 2009, he left the piano behind, relying instead on some harmonic underpinnings from vibraphonist Steve Nelson.
