Recording Sessions
Bolivia was recorded with the then-current members of the Eastern Rebellion jazz quartet (Moore, Walton, Williams and Higgins), plus Vincent Herring and Hubbard. Three of the six songs were recorded during the same December 1990 recording sessions that produced Eastern Rebellion's Mosaic album, and the rest were recorded the next month. Bolivia was the first of three hard bop albums that Hubbard recorded for the MusicMasters record label in the 1990s.

The Los Angeles Times wrote that the title track "sashays back and forth between a undulating Latin feeling and a driving swing section."[4]
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states that "overall the music is satisfying enough to make this a recommended disc to fans of the modern mainstream."[3]
