About O'2L [from their website]
Jane Mangini is a Florida native, and studied at Berklee in Boston. In addition to touring with Trans Siberian Orchestra for the past few years, Jane has recorded 2 records and played with New England favorite, Rick Berlin. Jane now lives in NYC, and works as a sound designer/composer for Bang Music.
Jane improvises chordal and solo structures on her keyboards and then experiments with various arrangements. "The arranging part is easy," she explains. "I slice up my own work and use various chunks. Then I experiment with lots of samples. Sometimes I’ll play the samples in other octaves to get a different feel. I even create some tunes based on a strange-sounding sample that I then write around." When Al adds his parts, Jane then changes the arrangements again. "I hone in on what I want the tune to sound like. I start quick, then leave a piece alone. When I come back to it, I usually hear something new."
A classically trained musician, Al Pitrelli has made his mark in the rock world performing with heavy metal groups like Megadeth and Savatage. He also worked with Alice Cooper, Asia and Dee Snider’s group Widowmaker. Al says he plays rock for a living but finds the O’2L setting an "outlet to perfect the art form, to use an acoustic guitar or mandolin if a song calls for it." He jokes that you couldn’t ask for two collaborators to come from more opposite worlds. "Jane is a great musician and composer as well as the Mozart of Madison Avenue," he says, then adds with a laugh, "and here she is recording an album with a spawn-of-Satan guitar player."
About Mu'tet [from their website]
"Jeff Coffin continues to turn heads as one of the most impressive saxophonists in modern jazz...some amazing compositional skills... The end result is nothing short of glorious, a must hear." Todd S. Jenkins - ALL ABOUT JAZZ • • •
Leading the Mu'tet is Grammy winning saxophonist Jeff Coffin (of Bela Fleck & the Flecktones). Known for sometimes playing two saxes at a time, Coffin explores with a fire not often seen in today's music world. Jeff started the Mu'tet to explore a wide variety of music and to continually "mutate" the sound and dynamic of the band.
A regular "who's who" of players like Jeff Sipe, Chester Thompson, Pat Bergeson, Chris Thile, Bela Fleck, Victor Wooten, Alana Rocklin, Doug Belote, Tyler Wood, Mark Feldman, Adam Nitti, Felix Pastorius, Futureman, Kirk Whalum and other world class musicians have performed or recorded with the Mu'tet.
Stylistically, the Mu'tet pulls from "Second Line" New Orleans grooves to swampy funk tunes, mixed meter Zappa-esque tunes, East Indian modalities, reggae and inside out Ornette Coleman tunes...
"What do we call it? We call it music."
...been mutated...lately?
