Ahead of a major UK exhibition of the work of American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, Max Reinhardt explores his musical inspirations and collaborations.

Music was writ large across much of Basquiat's work - in the case of bebop, often literally so, with transcribed solos and discographies of his jazz heroes emblazoned across his canvasses. He co-founded noise band Gray and - starting out as a street artist in late 70s New York - was also almost inevitably tied to the emerging hip-hop scene, producing and designing records for his friends.

Max dips into Basquiat's Puerto Rican and Haitian heritage too - the sounds of the Santerian and Vodou traditions that informed so much of his work - as well as sharing more recent music that he, in turn, has helped to inspire.

Produced by Chris Elcombe for Reduced Listening.
