NEW RELEASES : In Brief

* * * Antonio Hart, “Don’t You Know I Care,” RCA/Novus. The 24-year-old altoist, who wrote seven of the nine tunes, shares honors with such young and amazingly mature colleagues as Jamal Haynes, 19, whose trombone solo highlights the old Quincy Jones piece “Jessica’s Day.” Gary Bartz, Hart’s mentor, guests on “At the Closet Inn,” turning the boppish piece into an alto duel. Extra percussion brings rhythmic heat to “Mandela Freed.” The program ends with “From Across the Ocean,” truly a wailing waltz.
