I hope I can be forgiven for assuming that Doyle's Brunch was
the product of some Irish band. Given the title of the album
and the band (pronounced O'Toole, as in Peter), it
seems a natural mistake. In fact, O'2L is the product of
Jane Mangini on keyboards and Al Pitrelli on guitar. And neither one
sounds a bit Irish.
Mangini and Pitrelli are two members of
Trans-Siberian
Orchestra, although I'm guessing they're about as Siberian as
they are O'Tooles. But enough about what they aren't. What they
are is jazzy and energetic and fun to listen to. Quite a
change from TSO's
angsy Christmas fare. Not
that I'm complaining about that. To my mind, angst is a lot more true
to life than the usual holly and manger stuff we get in December.
