Basquiat: King Pleasure

[medjuck]

Went to an exhibit entitled "Jean-Michel Basquiat: King Pleasure" in LA last week.  Though I could find no reference to the singer King Pleasure in the show or its catalogue there were several painting about   jazz musicians who were Basquiat's heroes, and one  whole room devoted to only paintings referencing  musicians.  I took photos of some of them.

First thing that came to mind on seeing the lowermost image was the Pere Ubu track "Young Miles In The Basement"
