Influences
May 2008: 'The Tide's In' debuted at Number 3 on the New Age/World Music/Ambient charts (NAR) for the month of April 2008. 'Doliber's Cove' from 'The Tide's In', has cracked the Top 10 New Age singles Charts at Sirius Satellete (Dogstar) Radio as of mid-May. In the last few months, the disc has been creeping onto college top 10 charts - Jazz and World Music- across North America, and continues to gain momentum and airplay both in the US and abroad.
January 2007: 'Dreams of Brazil' has been honored as one of 25 albums qualifying for nomination as Best Instrumental Album - Acoustic for 2006 in the highly regarded New Age Reporter awards, and is fast becoming the Soundtrack of Choice for Artists and Lovers worldwide. The CD's recent success on the charts in the USA and ongoing international radio airplay is borne of a broad and deep creative background.
Rolland is a native of Cambridge MA, where his early years were filled with every imaginable kind of Music, Art, and Architecture. On the Music side, Blues and folk greats like Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf and Tom Rush who he heard at the Club 47 in the '60s, a constant stream of Jazz greats like Ahmad Jamal, Miles Davis - sharing a billing with Tina Turner at one wonderful event- Weather Report and Keith Jarrett through the Jazz Workshop, Greater Boston's exceptional classical music scene bringing Stravinsky, Bach, Mozart, Mahler and Webern, to John Cage, Leon Kirchner, and Philip Glass, and a vibrant rock scene that created The J. Geils Band, Aerosmith, and Hendrix live at the old Boston Garden - then from further afield, Kenny Burrell, King Sunny Ade, AC Jobim and Milton Nascimento, among many others, were his creative influences. And let's not forget the Gamelans or the Pygmies of the Ituri, or John Dowland, or Jim Hall's guitarwork....
Sounds Like
Drawing broadly from Nature - the sounds of surf, winds, water, and birdsong, a visual palette freely translated from the colors of the skies, clouds and their movements, Sun, Moon, stars, the everchanging light from Dawn to Dusk, and an emotional palette of forest and beach, mountains and desert, and what they bring to the heart - Rolland is a Master at fashioning rock, blues, jazz, Spanish, Brazilian, Latin, and West/South African musical flavors for acoustic and electric guitars. Usually with plenty of percussion and often some beautiful, cooking voices ................................ ...~`.~`.~`A different mix of North and South American sensibilities .~`.~`.~`...........
