Gui Duvignau: Jazz Musician in New York

About Gui Duvignau

Gui Duvignau is a New York–based jazz musician whose work sits between modern jazz language and open-form improvisation, with a thread of Brazilian jazz in his listening and repertoire. He appears at Brooklyn’s Bar Bayeux in settings that emphasize close ensemble dialogue, including performances with ContraPunctus alongside saxophonist and clarinetist Mike McGinnis, pianist Carmen Staaf, and drummer Hamir Atwal. His playing tends to favor structure without rigidity, moving in and out of written material as the group’s pacing shifts. The focus is on detail and interaction rather than display.
