In 1983 Doell moved to Capitol Studios,[13][14][15] where he worked for 15 years.[3] Peter Doell was the recording engineer for the albums “While the City Sleeps...” by George Benson and “Tutu” by Miles Davis, produced by Tommy LiPuma. He was recommended to LiPuma by James Newton Howard.[12] Davis won the Grammy Award for "Best Jazz Instrumental Performance, Soloist" for his performance on "Tutu".[16]
