Influences: Saxophone Journal: Thomas Krenzel Doggett, 2001 “His diversity as a performer, skilled in both classical and jazz repertoire, in addition to being an accomplished flutist, provides an excellent model for the skills necessary to succeed in the ever-changing music industry.” Greg Banaszak

City Beat: Midpoint Music Festival Guide, 2003 Two Turntables and a Saxophone: "Beautiful experimental Trip Hop with samples and instrumental phrases dominating lush soundscapes"

Society of Composers: KrenzelDoggett Duo, 2004 A perfect piece to conclude these days of music. Vibrant, chromatic runs and punchy angular leaps are the most salient characteristics here. Bravo!

Maximum Ink Music Magazine: Two Turntables and a Saxophone CD, 2005 "Soundscapes lead to breakbeats before flying off into acid-jazz undertakings. Sometimes simplistic and downtempo, occasionally motivating and agitating.

City Beat: Two Turntables and a Saxophone 2005 "TTaaS, the collaboration of DJ Late Circuit's tasty grooves and samples and Thomas Krenzel Doggett's sax and flute expressions, thrilled audiences at past MidPoint Music Festivals. Recent recordings include more samples and even a guest laying down some tasty guitar. This duo can only get better."

Splendid Magazine: Two Turntables and a Saxophone CD, 2005 "...songs where the Circuit and TKD are joined by guitarist Aaron Mahoney are among the disc's best. ...shows off TTaaS's all-important ability to create a sultry mood. The epic "Getting There"'s steady drum 'n' bass beat provides a solid floor for atmospheric eddies of guitar, meshing surprisingly well with more organic elements such as chimes and TKD's birdlike saxophone."

RawRip.com: More Than Sax! 2006 “A masterful warlock when it comes to experimenting…Thomas Krenzel Doggett is a multitalented musician and composer, whose impressive sax experiments will definitely trigger your imagination…the music of Thomas Krenzel Doggett is designed for those who always have a hunger for that avant-garde feeling in music, daring hybrids of various genres (from rock to trip-hop) [and] unpredictable turns in arrangement…”

Inside Guitar Center: Two Turntables and a Saxophone, 2007 “Thomas Krenzel Doggett (a.k.a. Tommy D.) has had a diversified musical career playing saxophone, flute and keyboards in a wily variety of musical constellations. From the time he completed his masters degree in music, the road has not stopped winding…”

Cityview: Best of Des Moines Awards, 2008"[Runner-Up] Best Local Band/Musician": Cityview Best of 2008 "The Nadas retained their title for another year, but R&B group One Nite Stand continue to close the gap."

Cityview: Best of Des Moines Awards, 2009"[Runner-Up] Best Local Band/Musician": Cityview Best of 2009 "Third year in a row."

SkopeMag, 2009 Thomas Doggett has put together a sound that meshes various genres from jazz, electronic, and rock. Thomas has been involved with music for the past twenty years. The first track that really got us listening was “Afro Blue.” The instrumentation from this single is one of a kind. For the last year, Thomas has been rehearsing with Corey Taylor’s (Slipknot, Stone Sour) new solo project. They will also be performing at Rockfest 2009 on May 30th on the Main Stage.

Metromix Des Moines, 2009 Junk Beer Kidnap Band info from the man himself: Corey Taylor "I had wanted to start the first stoner rock disco funk band- basically a cross between Sabbath, Prince and Zappa- so I assembled a crack squad of aloof yet courageous bastards to do so. We wrote 9 songs in that strain, but then we started jamming my solo material. Sounded great, and I was planning to do some solo shows anyway, so I asked JBKB to back me on the shows. The members include Fred Missouri and Ryan Berrier of FaceCage, THE Thomas Doggett of One Nite Stand, Tyson Leslie from too many damn bands to count, and Nik Sorak of the Dead Wait. The music is pure Midwest rock- The Replacements, Social Distortion, Foo Fighters, ETC. It is NOT heavy metal. I'm in 2 other bands that play that. This is rock with big chords, huge choruses and a lot of melody. No plans to record yet, but I'm working on it." So there you go. They play May 31 at Lazerfest.
