Fraser Hollins has been praised as “one of Canada’s great bassists.” Don Thompson – Canadian Jazz Multi-Instrumentalist. A priority in his artistic growth has been to develop versatility in many styles and idioms because of his sincere love for many musical cultures and genres. This has proven an invaluable quality for him as he has led an enriching musical life for the past 15 years in Montreal, and, for a few years, in New York City.
His playing demonstrates “highly imaginative and creative spontaneous music making.” Craig Hurst – Jazz Review.com. Fraser is an in-demand sideman, and his contribution as a rhythm section player is valued for the “strong foundation” he gives the music while at the same time providing “much more than the requisite maintenance of the beat.” Joanne Villeneuve – The Brandon Sun.
