Review

From his beginnings as a New York graffiti artist, Jean-Michel Basquiat became one of the 1980s' most talked-about artists before his premature death at 27, in 1988. Many of his canvases portray a vibrant merging of African-American culture, wry social commentary, and a passion for music. In particular, the inspiration he drew from bebop pioneers such as Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie made for some of Basquiat's most compelling works. Breaking from tradition, these music innovators had forged a daring new style of jazz that offered greater freedom of expression, making creative use of expanded harmonic, melodic, and rhythmic palettes. Basquiat's paintings, with their boundless energy and unbridled rhythm, render a dynamic salute to these jazz innovators. Collected here are a dozen classic, original recordings by those modern jazz legends that most inspired Basquiat.
