5.0 out of 5 stars Smoothjazz.com Review, March 1, 2005

By	Sandy Shore (Monterey, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

O'2L (O-Tool) is the dynamic duo collaborating team of two of New York's finest... Keyboardist and sound designer Jane Mangini and guitarist Al Pitrelli. The duo's sophomore release, DOYLE'S BRUNCH on Peak Records, is filled with scintillating samples and groovy grooves along with generous portions of soul, jazz and funk, plus a cool version of the Door's 1971 hit, "Riders On The Storm". Jane, a former Floridian, studied at Berklee and in addition to her work with Atlantic records' Trans-Siberian Orchestra and O'2L, she's a composer for Bang Music in NYC. Her partner calls her the `Mozart of Madison Avenue'. Al is actually a classically trained guitarist but has made his mark with heavy metal icons Megadeth and Savatage. He's also worked with Alice Cooper, Asia and Dee Snider. On the O'2L website, Al jokes, "You couldn't ask for two collaborators to come from more opposite worlds." Named after an eatery in Boston, DOYLE'S BRUNCH will satisfy your cravings for chilled music and cater to your organic sensibilities with inspiring guitar and piano work. There's something for everybody on this project... 13 tracks in all. Shaken, downtempo songs like "Senior Wilhelm," "Cali," and "Learn To Walk" drop like cool, chilled jazz. While the fun and crazy/jazzy, "Come And Get It," the wickedly out "Mountain City Playhouse" (the only chill tune I've heard with a violin and a rippin' bluesy piano) and the funky "City Chicken," assist in bringing high tech and funk to terms. DOYLE'S BRUNCH is served - Bon appetite! ~Sandy Shore

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow, April 13, 2005

By	Aja-Q "lovin good music" - See all my reviews

we actually just saw a live performance of O'2L on April 10, and I was so blown away with this group, I ran to the concession area and purchased Doyle's Brunch. I guess I'm a "new-bie" to this style or genre, whatever it is, I cant stop playing it. I am so glad I found this group. Buy it you wont regret it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Cool Tool Tunes!!!, September 21, 2007

By	Jerry Anderson "browser in sd" (Yankton, SD) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A very refreshing dip into electronica or smooth jazz! Its your call! Try the sample bars. Riders On The Strom Is An Excellent Rendition Of One Of The Doors Greatest Tunes. Would'nt mind seeing this bunch live, it would be a good show, no doubt! This CD is well enginered, with good clarity and detail! Purchased from Amazon, Very Fast Shipment...Great Stuff!
