For 20 years, Mario Canonge and Michel Zenino have been reimagining repertoire standards through an intense musical dialogue!
After nearly two decades of musical partnership, Mario Canonge and Michel Zenino are relaunching their celebrated residency at Baiser Salé, like a much-anticipated ritual every Wednesday for a loyal and passionate audience. Since 2006, this unique piano-double bass duo has established a format that is as demanding as it is intense, with no artifice or compromise, where every note and every silence matters. The absence of drums, far from being a constraint, becomes a playground where concentration, mutual listening, and sensitivity reach their peak. On stage, Canonge, an essential figure in Caribbean jazz, and Zenino, a double bassist with formidably precise phrasing, revisit the great jazz standards with inventiveness, from Thelonious Monk to Ornette Coleman, while infusing them with their Creole and Latin roots and their taste for cultural blending. This residency, a true laboratory of improvisation, blends tradition and modernity in a rare kind of alchemy, nourished by years of uninterrupted musical dialogue. Each week, they also welcome close guest collaborators, extending this dynamic of exchange and exploration. Returning to these evenings means plunging into a suspended moment, where technical mastery gives way to raw emotion and a shared instant. An essential event for lovers of jazz that is alive, free, and deeply embodied.
Price: From 10 to 25 euros.
