#20 Mario Canonge + Michel Zenino - Duo Jazz

LINE UP: MARIO CANONGE piano MICHEL ZENINO bass. After nearly two decades of musical complicity, Mario Canonge and Michel Zenino relaunch their famous residence at Le Baiser Salé, like a ritual awaited every Wednesday by a loyal and passionate audience.

Since 2006, this unique piano-bass duo has managed to impose a format as demanding as it is intense, without artifice or compromise, where every note, every silence counts.

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 bassist with relentless phrasing precision, revisit with inventiveness the great standards of jazz—from Thelonious Monk to Ornette Coleman—while infusing their Creole, Latin roots and their taste for blending.

This residence, a true laboratory of improvisation, mixes tradition and modernity in a rare form of alchemy, nourished by years of uninterrupted musical dialogue. Each week they also welcome complicit guests, extending this dynamic of exchange and exploration.

Coming to attend these evenings is diving into a suspended moment, where technical mastery fades in favor of raw emotion and shared instant. An unmissable gathering for lovers of living, free, embodied jazz.
