Jean-Michel Basquiat The Radiant Child

From
jean-michelbasquiattheradiantchild.com

"Centered on a rare interview that director and friend Tamra Davis shot with Basquiat over twenty years ago, this definitive documentary chronicles the meteoric rise and fall of the young artist. In the crime-ridden NYC of the 1970s, he covers the city with the graffiti tag SAMO. In 1981 he puts paint on canvas for the first time, and by 1983 he is an artist with “rock star status.” He achieves critical and commercial success, though he is constantly confronted by racism from his peers. In 1985 he and Andy Warhol become close friends and painting collaborators, but they part ways and Warhol dies suddenly in 1987. Basquiat’s heroin addiction worsens, and he dies of an overdose in 1988 at the age of 27. The artist was 25 years old at the height of his career, and today his canvases sell for more than a million dollars. With compassion and psychological insight, Tamra Davis details the mysteries that surround this charismatic young man, an artist of enormous talent whose fortunes mirrored the rollercoaster quality of the downtown scene he seemed to embody.

Featuring interviews with Julian Schnabel, Larry Gagosian, Bruno Bischofberger, Tony Shafrazi, Fab 5 Freddy, Jeffrey Deitch, Glenn O'Brien, Maripol, Kai Eric, Nicholas Taylor, Fred Hoffmann, Michael Holman, Diego Cortez, Annina Nosei, Suzanne Mallouk, Rene Ricard, Kenny Scharf, among many others."

Frankie Knuckles, Live Recording, 1982

I'll spare you the long story behind me acquiring this cassette, but I do have to give a big shout out to my good friend John John who originally gave me this tape pre interweb. Today we have places like Deep House Page and Victor Simonelli's online collection of mixtapes where anyone can easily find recordings like this that were once considered to be quite rare.

As you can see not a lot of information about this recording was provided, but I'm guessing from the tracklisting that this took place around '82 (which happens to be the year that Frankie Knuckles left the Warehouse, creating even more questions about the origins of this cassette - was this recorded at the Warehouse? The Power Plant?). I converted it to a 256 bitrate MP3, but keep in mind that this was transfered from a cassette that was recorded from another cassette that was recorded from another cassette, etc. Enjoy!
