The Rick Hollander Quartet is Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band
Diese abenteuerliche und doch vertraute Interpretation des legendären Beatles Albums, das 1967 die Welt veränderte, ist ein gewagtes Unterfangen für The RHQ - eine etablierte Jazzband. Die neuen „Fab Four“ vereinen nun ihre Kräfte um, was oft als eine der höchsten Errungenschaften der Popmusik angesehen wird, neu vorzustellen. Die Arrangements erinnern naturgemäß an die Originalaufnahme, klingen jedoch frisch und sind voller Überraschungen.

With a Little Help from My Friends, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, When I’m Sixty Four, Strawberry Fields Forever, Penny Lane und A Day in the Life sind Höhepunkte des 2021 Tour Repertoires. Songs des Lennon-McCartney-Songwriting- Teams zu covern ist alltäglich, sie aber so neu zu präsentieren und zu instrumentieren wie Rick Hollander und sein Quartet, ist es nicht!

The Rick Hollander Quartet is Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band
This adventurous yet familiar interpretation of The Beatles’ iconic 1967 release that rocked the world represents a daring departure for The RHQ – a well-established jazz group. Brian Levy, Paul Brändle, Tovcho Tsolmonbayar and Rick Hollander, the new “Fab Four”, combine all their forces to re-imagine, what is often considered one of popular music’s highest achievements. Their arrangements ring true to the original recording we love yet sound fresh and new.

With a Little Help from My Friends, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, When I’m Sixty Four, Strawberry Fields Forever, Penny Lane and A Day in the Life are highlights of The RHQ’s 2021 tour repertoire.

Dr. Brian Levy is an absolute fireball. His soulful intensity, fueled by a keen intellect, begs this answer to an age old question: “Yes, there’s a doctor in the house.” Born in 1977 and originally from San Diego, California Levy resides in Boston, Massachusetts where he’s a full-time faculty member at the prestigious New England Conservatory.

Guitarist Paul Brändle, born in 1992, cites Kempten in Bavaria, Germany as his birthplace. He’s a relative newcomer to the world’s jazz stage, so watch out for this young man! While there are those who choose to display a flashy style of guitar theatrics, Paul seems content to gently pull you, the listener, into his web; a carefully woven tapestry of sound. Paul earned a Masters of Music degree from The University of Music and Performing Arts Munich.

From Detroit, Michigan (The Motor City) hails drummer Rick Hollander. Rick was born in 1956 and bore witness to the musical and societal upheaval of the 1960’s and 70’s. Now, when Hollander takes to the drum throne, you’ll hear a musician that possesses the empathy to accompany, coupled with the strength and vision with which to lead. Rick’s private study with Gene Stewart and the legendary Roy Brooks along with courses in music theory and composition at Oakland Community College came together to prepare him for the career he’s known for.
