Trumpeter Charles Sullivan’s debut album Genesis is a hidden gem of 1970s jazz. Blending post-bop, modal influences, and spiritual depth, Sullivan crafts music that is both dense, lyrical, and deeply emotional. Supported by renowned musicians like Sonny Fortune and Alphonse Mouzon, he delivers subtle compositions that balance technical precision with expressive freedom. Long overlooked, Genesis is now recognized as a landmark of spiritual jazz — an essential rediscovery. Solid Japanese issue without Obi, just a small split on bottom seam.
