Illustrator: Jean Michel Basquiat. Basquiat Salutes Jazz is a shameless attempt at cashing in on the memory of the great painter by pairing his love of jazz music -- and Tom Terrell referencing himself and the late artist's record collection -- and Fantasy's jazz catalog. While the biographical essay and Terrell's self-serving essay are interesting and the cover art is wonderful, these 12 cuts have been heard many times in many different ways, amounting to nothing more than a bebop compilation with a groovy cover. This smells like exploitation. ~ Thom Jurek According to the liner essay by Tom Terrell, Jean-Michel Basquiat loved jazz. Anyone familiar with his painting already knew this. This compilation of classic bebop cuts from Fantasy's vast catalog contains 12 tracks by major artists -- Miles, Mingus, Roach, Gillespie, Parker -- and a fine cover. ~ Thom Jurek Engineer: Eric Miller; Jack Higgins; Angel Balestier; Ray Fowler; Rudy Van Gelder Musical Guests John Coltrane   Technical Info Release Date : 08/30/2005 Original Release Date : 2005 Catalog ID : 11031 Label : Prestige Records Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00025218313124    Related Videos Randy Jackson: Randy Jack...
