For quite some time he resided in Munich that bottom he toured thoroughly. Among numerous performers with whom he provides performed are Cameron Dark brown, Arnett Cobb, Robin Eubanks, Tim Hagans, Roy Hargrove, Gys Hendriks, Johannes Herrlich, Tag Murphy, Herbert Noord, Rufus Reid and Woody Shaw. Throughout a lot of the 90s Hollander led his very own group. His middle-90s putting your signature on to Concord Information helped spread his popularity more broadly than hitherto and his fellow countrymen had been therefore in a position to hear what Western european audiences have been enjoying for quite some time. Although he possesses an all-embracing technique, Hollander generally maintains it under wraps, content material to supply subtly supportive accompaniment for his fellow music artists.

Hollander isn’t afraid to explore days gone by for compositions to record; for instance, A LONG TIME AGO includes the music of Hoagy Carmichael.
