Christopher DeLaurenti, Speak Like A Child (which was released in 1969) is one of the last real jazz records, and it’s one that is all the more sad because it’s so close to the end of jazz itself. As for Hankcock’s later returns to actual jazz, I refuse to listen to any of it. Once he gave up the truth, he was tainted for life. I’m a jazz purist.
