The analysis is focused on two albums, Tutaj / Here: New Poems, a recording of a poetry reading event with Wisława Szymborska and jazz musician Tomasz Stańko, and Awaria świata / World Failure, a recording of vocal performances of Ewa Lipska’s poems with flute accompaniment composed and performed by the multi-instrumentalist Leszek „HeFi” Wiśniowski. The voices of the poets not only enhance the reception of their messages (as readers become listeners) but also reveal the personal interpretations of their work. Each album has a different kind of musical accompaniment. While Stańko’s improvisations ‘echo’ the poetic text, Wiśniowski’s compositions are free transpositions of some motifs from the poems. Nonetheless in each case the language is successfully orchestrated with its musical complement on all levels, from the structural patterns down to singular rhythmic and melodic mimetic schemes.}, type={Artykuł}, title={Spoken-word poetry with jazz accompaniment: Wisława Szymborska – Tomasz Stańko and Ewa Lipska – Leszek „HeFi” Wiśniowski}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/132425/PDF/02_Ruch_Literacki_2023_06.pdf}, doi={10.24425/rl.2023.148322}, keywords={Poetry and music, Contemporary Polish poetry, concept albums, spoken-word poetry, avant-garde jazz, Wisława Szymborska (1923–2012), Tomasz Stańko (1942–2018), Ewa Lipska (b. 1945), Leszek „HeFi” Wiśniowski (b. 1965)}, }
