This project was funded by FCT – Fundação Para a Ciência e a Tecnologia [Foundation for Science and Technology] between 2012 and 2015 and its outputs will start to be published from 2016 on.
Hot Club of Portugal (HCP) is a jazz club and a jazz institution for the promotion of jazz music (including a jazz school – Luís Villas-Boas’ Jazz School) that is active in Portugal since the late 1940s (although its statutes were only officially approved in 1950). It was founded after its French counterpart, the Hot Club de France, following the efforts by Luís Villas-Boas. One of the main objectives of the above mentioned research project was the cataloguing and study of Luís Villas-Boas’ collection related to its activities connected to HCP and also as one of the main Portuguese jazz promoters and aficionado. This collection is deposited at Hot Club de Portugal’s Historical Archive and consists of materials related to jazz in general and particularly to jazz in Portugal, gathered from the 1940s to the 1990s. It comprehends archival documentation such as manuscripts and correspondence, photographs of HCP’s activities throughout the decades and audio recordings such as instantaneous discs from radio broadcastings and open audio reel and tapes from amateur recordings. Villas-Boas’s collection also includes published contents such as books, magazines on jazz, and multiple formats of phonograms (78 rpm, including V-Discs and a substantial collection of Voice of America phonograms, 45 rpm, 33 1/3 rpm LP’S). Following a questioning of the concept ‘jazz’ and a review of jazz-related records published in Portugal until the 1970s, this paper will focus mostly on two instant discs recorded during sessions organized by Villas-Boas for the promotion of HCP in the second half of the 1940s.

Nasceu em Leiria em 1947 e começou interessar-se pelo jazz enquanto estudante universitário em Lisboa no final da década de 1960. Em 1980 deu, com José Eduardo na direcção pedagógica, inicio à escola de jazz do HCP com o apoio da Secretaria de Estado da Cultura (SEC), após uma primeira experiencia de três meses em 1977, também com Zé Eduardo e Luís Villas-Boas na direcção do clube. Nos últimos anos das suas direcções, a escola tornou-se membro da International Association of Schools of Jazz (IASJ). Nesta entrevista – parte de uma longa conversa realizada no âmbito do projecto “Jazz em Portugal: os legados de Luís Villas-Boas e do Hot Clube de Portugal” – Rui Martins explica a sua estratégia e acção, com especial incidência nas questões sobre o ensino e ligações internacionais.
