'Hoogstins
is an outstanding bassist, who as a soloist and an accompanist excels (in
achieving) the strongest of tones.'

His bass
melodies for example - it's best heard in his ballads - are the most beautiful
that are played nowadays in the Netherlands. Not coincidentally, Hoogstins
is also a - more than mediocre - gifted composer.
