'Doliber's Cove' is 1 at Sirius Satellite Radio's Top 10 New Age Singles Charts for the week of July 7-13, 2008. It's been floating around the Top 10 since early May, but we like being in the top spot. Here's a solo performance video of the piece, surf for accompaniment.

Record Reviews by Robert Silverstein

BRIAN ROLLAND Dreams of Brazil (On The Full Moon)
An accomplished acoustic guitarist and composer, Brian Rolland is a master at fashioning folk, jazz, flamenco, classical and Latin music flavors for acoustic guitar and those strengths come sharply into focus on his CD Dreams Of Brazil. Even though he grew up on a musical diet of blues and folk legends like Muddy Waters and Tom Rush, Rolland soon gravitated towards the jazz sound of greats like Miles Davis and Weather Report. Fittingly, the nine track Dreams Of Brazil features a spirited Rolland cover of the Joe Zawinul classic "In A Silent Way". Rolland is in fine company assisted by John Lockwood (bass) and Bob Weiner (drums). For sheer musical relaxation and radiance, it doesn't get any better than Dreams Of Brazil. www.brianrolland.com
