DOT ABOVE i / set of 3 concert programs
Each program is publishing as separate item related to all of the form. Includes theme dots, a biography of the artist, historically documented concert.
The common denominator of the publication is to jazz – music based on the arranged chaos of improvisation, emotional interpretation of sound. Photos that make up the series have been subjected to the author’s artistic creation. Centralized composition, subordinated “dot above i”.
I have chosen a set of concerts which can be considered as groundbreaking -
they break down ethical, cultural, musical barriers.

KROPKA NAD i / zestaw 3 programów koncertowych
Każdy program stanowi oddzielną pozycję wydawniczą o pokrewnej dla wszystkich formie. Zawiera motyw kropki,biografię artysty, historycznie udokumentowany program koncertu.
Wspólnym mianownikiem publikacji jest jazz – muzyka oparta na uporządkowanym chaosie improwizacji, emocjonalnej interpretacji dźwięku. Fotografie składające się na serię poddane zostały autorskiej kreacji artystycznej. Kompozycja scentralizowana, podporządkowana “kropce nad i”.
Wybrane przeze mnie koncerty można uważać za przełomowe - pokonywały bariery etyczne, kulturowe, muzyczne.

billie holiday (melancholic, seductive, restrained)

john coltrane (energetic, intense, mathematical - as he said of his own style: "I start in the middle of a sentence and move both directions at once")
Coltrane last concert called "Olatunji" in April 23, 1967 Center of African Culture in New York (total improvisation, which had split both among his fans and critics)

If each of musicians selected by my would have an opportunity for longer life, creation of jazz, perhaps they would affect on our perception of music and artist. They didn't gave up by criticism so they aroused out of context, in which they were put by the world of commerce
(at that time jazz wasn't a genre listened to by intellectuals,
it was a voice of the people wronged by life)
Giving Holiday, Coltrane and Davis the opportunity to bring dots over "i" perhaps we could be witnessed of changes the course history of music - not just jazz.
