...HARGROVE: DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH (Novus). Watch out, Wynton! This 20-year- old trumpet phenomenon from Waco, Texas, is nipping at your heels with a horn full of soul and fire. A well-crafted album, featuring penetrating solo work from alto-saxman Antonio Hart and three strong compositions by pianist Geoffrey Keezer...

As ex-President Bolivar passes through corrupting cities and pestilential villages on the way to retirement, his dream of "one nation, free and unified, from Mexico to Cape Horn," collapses as surely as his consumptive lungs. Fever inspires delirious memories of battlefield victories and bedroom intrigues. Ideals, glory, vitality and hope are overgrown by failures...
