Drums of Steel features Derek DiCenzo, a multi-instrumentalist who performs constantly in and around central Ohio with many groups including the Bobby Floyd Trio, Vaughn Wiester's Famous Jazz Orchestra, Joe Crump, and the Jazz Crackers.  Derek has toured and recorded with Jamaican-born jazz piano sensation Monty Alexander and his steel-drumming is featured on Alexander's LP "To The Ends Of The Earth" (Concord). Derek played steel drum on a soundtrack for the Discovery Channel's "Great Chefs of the World" with the late jazz guitar legend Charlie Byrd. Derek will be a featured soloist (guitar and steel drum) this December with the Columbus Jazz Orchestra.  Joining DiCenzo are some of Columbus' premiere musicians, Dave DeWitt on triple-cello steel drums, Nate Anders on vibes, and Maxwell Button on the drum kit.
