This topic reminded me that I bought in a German Antiquariat an exhibition catalog on the subject:

JUS' JASS: Correlations of Painting and Afro-American Classical Music. Exhibition catalog, October 28 - December 4, 1983, Kenkeleba Gallery, New York. Foreword by Dr. Steve Cannon.

22 works reproduced in black-and-white:

With an inserted typographical list of paintings not listed in the catalogue:

Has anyone visited this exhibition?
