Gonçalo Marques
«Now I am ready to tell how bodies are changed
Into different bodies»
(Tales from Ovid , translated by Ted Hughes, chapter one, «Creation», quoted by António Franco Alexandre in an Epigraph from «A Fable»)
Between the path we have chosen and the way we go, between preparation and improvisation, between determinism and stochastic where are we?
Seven totally improvised solos, loosely inspired by Marcel Bitsch's study #14 which is played very freely on solo number 7.
The recordings and the photographs, taken by me were made on an Iphone.

Gonçalo Marques is a Jazz trumpet player who also teaches at Escola Superior de Música in Lisbon and at the Hot Clube Jazz School. He has three CDs out in his own name, the latest being «Canção do Homem Simples» recorded for the label «Robalo» that he started with Demian Cabaud. Other recent editions as a sideman include LUME's «Xabregas 10», «Dança dos Pássaros» by the orquestra de Jazz do Hot Clube and Jeff Williams’s «Lifelike». He is very much involved in the teaching of jazz to youngsters, namely through the Hot Clube's Jazz school workshop, meant for children between 10 and 14 years old, of which he is the pedagogical director. He curates Jazz at the cafe Tati in Lisbon and he also runs the Sunday Jam Session there. He did some forays into other performative arts such as theatre (for instance in the play «Ricardo III» directed by Tónan Quito) and more recently in contemporary dance (in the play «As Bacantes» choreographed by Marlene Monteiro Freitas).
