He authored the 2010 textbook Music of Latin America and the Caribbean (published by Prentice Hall). The book was reviewed by Latin American Music Review' s Daniel Sheehy, who said the "amount of detail and the historical and cultural swath it covers are impressive". Sheehy praised Brill's writing for being "clear, engaging, and appropriate for undergraduates as well as for more advanced students". Indiana University professor Eric Bindler reviewed the book in the Journal of Folklore Research. Bindler criticized the book for having a "a number of significant shortcomings" such as Brill's "lack of recognition of or reference to the more authoritative ethnomusicological and other scholarly sources" though he concluded that it was "a valuable contribution to the field overall". Many of these issues were addressed in the second edition (2018) of the textbook.
