Gui Duvignau is a bass player and composer born in France and raised in Brazil. His multi-cultural background has led to a life of travelling and musical exploration. A jazz musician, in essence, he also draws inspiration from his experiences performing Rock, Brazilian and ‘World’ music, and from his studies in Contemporary music.

His first album Porto, in collaboration with singer Sofia Ribeiro was released in 2010 with the support of Portuguese radio station, Antena 2. His second album Fissura was released in 2016 on the Parisian label Onze Heures Onzes and selected among the best of the year by the French magazine JazzNews.

In São Paulo, Brazil, Gui led his own groups and performed frequently with trio Improvisado (with Marcelo Castilha and Pedro Ito) and the Carlos Ezequiel trio – including performances with George Garzone and Leitieres Leite, and the recording of the trio’s album Circular with guests David Binney and Lage Lund. https://cargocollective.com/guiduvignau

As a bandleader, he has released four records: Amon (2014), Pendular (2015), Out of Orden (2016) and Episodes (2018). JazzTrail says about his last release: “Episodes is a swinging album with abundant evocations of past grandeur.
