Kamau is an album by trumpeter Charles Sullivan (who had changed his name to Kamau Adilifu) which was recorded in 1995 and released on the Arabesque label.[1] [2]

Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow said "The frequently modal music is in some ways a throwback to the acoustic scene of the 1970s in that there are long melody statements and a liberal use of vamps. Adilifu's six originals generally develop slowly but are quite effective in setting moods ... Everyone plays up-to-par, making Kamau Adilifu/Charles Sullivan's "comeback" record quite successful as creative jazz".
